I thought Encore was extremely short staffed on Q captains? Didn't they park a large portion of the fleet because of lack of crews?

That was fake news so they could get 60 permits for pilots from India and South Africa under the temporary foreign workers program and pay them lower wages.

Just curious and don’t take this for me supporting TFWs, I don’t but does Encore not have a bunch of parked aircraft because they are short of Captains?
