Not gonna lie, the captain side is bordering on slightly overstaffed. That's VERY strange for this company. (Not sure we're overstaffed on FOs yet... or even really properly staffed). But since the upgrades are continuing unabated, that makes me think something's up. The only reason they stopped for the past couple months is a shortage of FOs. So either they're planning on massive attrition soon, or something's up...
That said, I'm going to take my usual tsa stance and say I refuse to believe it until i declare an emergency in it.
