Add a couple of new flights from Asia per day (one an A380, not sure what the load is like on that one as it is a strange time to add an A380 flight from Asia to CYVR... )

Another interesting thing is I have a student right now and we are not sure where to set qualification level with the lower traffic volumes...
Our trainees have been hanging out at home and getting paid since march. I believe within the next 10 days, they will start filtering them back in. R-side trainees first. We've had record eligible guys decide to call it quits since COVID hit, which already puts even more of a strain on staffing. Supposedly, they will be installing plexiglass barriers in the areas. The FAA's mantra has been to "train to whatever the traffic is" and then we'll slam them in the DYSIM lab. even still, there's no substitute for working real, busy traffic.
