But with the June, July and August classes all having MD slots, I can’t imagine they are pulling down the fleet like was rumored. Good news for MD folks (potentially).
The latest rumors apparently coming from planning call for a slower initial draw down and then more aggressive starting in 2024. If that’s true, there may not need to be any displacements in 2023. Rumors are rumors though, we’ll know for sure when the bid/displacement comes or doesn’t come.
