Yep, that's how they get the higher thrust

Yeah I doubt the schedule they provided can proceed as planned. I don't think they want to risk an Amazon launch either, as there's more SRB's so a higher chance the issue occurs again.
It's also quite a risky failure mode as the exhaust pointing the wrong way can cause catastrophic damage.

I've also heard March numerous times, but I've also heard many earlier dates so I'm a little bit hesitant with specific dates as I could easily see it slip a bit until VIF-A actually comes online and LVOS happens, but they're definitely close.

In today's Crew-12 briefing, NASA's Steve Stich (Manager CCP) said that Crew-12 has priority on the range, but that they'll work with ULA to optimize the schedule. If Crew-12 has to delay, ULA can proceed with the USSF-87 launch, but if Crew-12 launches ULA has to delay.
