I think the timing of this is interesting. At a time when both groups were going to enter CC together, a deal that had been offered 2 YEARS AGO and never delivered on, is suddenly whipped out of the bottom draw, and RE OFFERED in 12 months time! Do you really think that they need to wait until we get new paint for it to be delivered on? Of course not. They are looking to cause the greatest divide between the two groups, because after it is done, and in place we move on to the next fight don't we?
This is a big juicy carrot that has been dangled in front of a donkey for two years! "Suddenly" it becomes a good idea to give it to the donkey, but the donkey has to wait 12 months for the carrot. In the mean time, the carrot will be used to roger the CX pilots BECAUSE THEY ARE IN CC! No other reason, it is no different to them pulling your RPA! No different. Look at it for what it is.
The more naive of you are angry at the donkey.
