Ah there we go. I think there was some issue with why SpaceX couldn't sent suits up earlier too right? Because that does indeed sound like IVA suits weren't compatible

They sent the flight suits up on the next scheduled flight. There was no need to rush things, because Starliner was still a viable life boat.

SpaceX can launch crazy fast if they want to, there was just no reason.
