I have been on property 3 years and 9 months. There are 210 DFW FO lines for June, 110 FO RSV lines. I have 20 people ahead of me on RSV for June, of which maybe only 5 are choosing to be on RSV. If the FO you flew with had a line it was probably because he was in a base that was closing down. This month we had 216 lines, next month down to 210. Management and planners are absolute morons!
