knope,

Did you account for any aircraft being kept for charter use or spares?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the original plan was to keep 22 aircraft. Twenty would be used for scheduled service while the remaining two would be available for charter missions.

Assuming that some aircraft will still be allocated for charter use, it seems that availabile capacity will be pretty tight to cover the new schedule that starts 9/8.
