It wouldn't make business sense to have them (and their crew) sat idle for months at a time with the mortgage to pay on the airframe.
It is a slight concern, however the flying program over this coming winter is already busier than it has been before. No doubt that the company is looking into more efficient utilisation of crew and aircraft.
