I know Karen fairly well, and if she's saying she won't guarantee it will be running by summer, it probably won't be running anytime close to summer.

I guess if spring/summer (and summer is fall in the region) is not a go, this means a fall launch (which is winter) won't happen because no one wants a wintery start, so that means spring (which is summer) 2020 start at the earliest.

She can't commit to having it up and running by summer because she can't commit to any timeline. 2020 is a huge stretch and a lot of huge things would have to go wrong for 2020 to be the date. Especially since the last group of drivers start training this month.
