There are MROs in VCV and aircraft in short term storage programs. Plus lots and lots of cheap parking. It’ll be easier for operators to implement changes if all the aircraft are together before returning to service.
If WN wraps tires, ports and engines then there’s an indication the aircraft will not be flying soon.
