>>1377799To be fair, you do not actually understand the dynamics of the situation enough to make this decision, nobody does outside of top level government officials.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt though and assume that that your armchair analysis is correct for the sake of argument
you can't just go to Enterprise Rent a Car and leave with an airplane. You can't walk into a Boeing dealership and lease an airplane for a year and fly off the lot with it. There are logistics involved and logistics take time.
My point is, It could very well be the case that they are resourcing additional flights at lower cost, but acquisition takes time, and these military planes may not be the long term solution, only the short term stop gap
