Doesn’t have to be spread evenly to see reduced hours. Don’t forget trips being taken away for consolidation and ioe. More hires means less available trips to those outside training to allow those still finishing to finish. More people on reserve means you’re fighting more people for those trips on open time or the trade boards. Less lines because they take them for training means less line holders (even if it only affects a couple people). Those senior enough to hold a line were never that affected. It’s the people on reserve that aren’t being called and fight over the scraps.
