Interesting, thanks. But, if this were the case (and I'm not doubting), what would be the justification for a cancellation say 6-8 months out? If this one airframe were inoperative for that long, why schedule the flight, just to cancel on a particular day, but have it scheduled for the next day? And then reinstate the flight at a later date?
I'm glad to hear your assessment as we very much like this route. I'm just trying to understand the far advanced timing on these actions.
Cheers.
