nothing is shrinking….step back from the ledge….the company just wants to move the chess pieces where they want. They don’t want to have 787 training right now so they drop the FO level so there are no backfills. They don’t want IAH 737 FO to be undermanned by 100+ going into summer so they reduce DCA FO slots so there won’t be backfill.

If you haven’t been here long just relax as someone mentioned above they will post 50+ vacancies for DC when they are ready.
