Even the presence of a new third 295 will require more maintenance stands, more tools and the appropriate space to hold them, more personnel to service them, more support personnel, more training time for personnel until you get to the sweet spot where the fleet of three has enough manpower, tools, spares and so on and is self-sustaining.
