Hey it is a crapshoot, they may or may not, I just think they will refuse to give up after,(I think it is 18yrs!)
The odds here is better than buying a lottery ticket, I all the speculation prior operation is fruitless, either they start or don't, if they don't well we all lost some, if they start we might make some.
Knowing some people on the inside, I am betting they will start operating. 6 months after the initial pilot training, the pilots must go back for a 6 month proficiency check. and a 90 day landing currency. BLTA are aware of this so they would not have started training, spending the cash with pilot sitting.
