Even if they do decide to start shrinking it again, they could easily shrink the pilot group through attrition.
Agreed. We're really just talking about FOs being displaced for the purposes of this discussion and I'd be willing to bet if they did start retiring the 145s or sending them elsewhere in any way, I bet it will be a slow enough process that FOs will be upgrading out of the airplane enough to not need FO to FO seat displacements.
