It was great for me (junior guy) as well. We were well staffed in my cateogry in the years leading up to rona. Now, even that WB category has crap coverage. We also had good enough coverage to have great schedule flexibility on the 73 back in 2015-2017. Didn't seem like we were looking to shrink around that time.
But to your first point, ya it should be great for mid seniority and senior guys...that's kinda the point.
