They're probably going to have to drop something eventually. They're three times as large as they were when I started, so they can still shrink considerably and be just fine, but something will have to give along the way. I have no idea how the AS FFD compares to other legacy FFD from OO's perspective. I do recall when the AS flying started that there was a lot of emphasis on quality and customer experience... that was never then case for big three FFD, for those it was just "try to remember what color paint you're in when you make announcements".
