Yes. But Also, we've taken delivery of 4 789s this year without any real FO vacancies to go with... so the overstaffing is thinning, but not gone?
The FO backfills are minimal and, of course, only in certain bases. Also they are going far senior to the junior pilots on the fleet, of course. Might be a little while until we see new hires offered it again...
