Also, unfortunately... We went to order some random cables from China this week and today they told us they were taking off for their holiday (Chinese New Year). They said they'd be back in the office Feb 8th. This may apply to many of the suppliers and services they may need to use in the next few weeks. So they might not only be able to start working mid-Feb. But... Again, I have no idea what I'm talking about, just going from common sense really.

Right. Manufacturers will close for 3-7days in the Chinese New Year. That's the legal holiday week.

Doesn't stop them working now though. And you can't force people not to work at "legal holiday" time. I'm sure FC is more interested in making millions that taking 7 days off.

So, I said 3-7days. It depends on FC's management idea and the impetus of employee. A big rest before the real battle is just reasonable.
Calm down. Don't let our imagination run wild.

I'm not worried. I'm suggesting that AM are working, not taking extended vacations just because some random cable supplying company in China gives a bs excuse about not being able to deliver on time - the two are completely unconnected

I know lots of Chinese people in Thailand .... they take a couple of days off - certainly don't stop work for a month
