wti -per experience, is academic for 3 wks; flight phase should ramp up 3rd wk of Sept for a few wks, followed by a series of FINEX phases. and there’s activity usually during wknds.

Meaning? No flying or no WTI.
A WTI with no flying doesn't make sense.

I believe he is just trying to say that phase 1 of WTI 19-1 had been finalized. Missions have been taking place since (the end of) last week.
