For that rumor to have even theoretical traction, it would have to spell out how many, how long and why. In addition to whatever the number, you would also have to add several hundred mandatory and "early" retirements.
... beats me, not "my" rumor. I've been dumping water on it for all the reasons you mention, plus the fact that we are actually flying a bit more international block hours recently.
