I doubt they will hire anything as it should not be long before the refurbs are back into service, but i'm not sure, how many of the trains have been completed?
How about having a system to sell AP fares on these train where the passenger gets a reservation coupon (possibly even with make believe seat number) for that train? Therefore they are not garaunteed a seat but can get AP Fares.
As i far as I am aware an AP ticket does not follow the Permitted Routes system as you are a buying a ticket to travel on certain train(s), therefore the routing is set only by the TOC
