The first batch departed earlier than anticipated 1020 today (9/4), rather than tomorrow, using spare crews specially flown over to do the ferrying.
Today's wave cancelled due to thunderstorms.
Perhaps they, and the third wave will arrive en masse tomorrow, or maybe they have delayed the third wave until Thursday.
No doubt time will tell.
