Does this still leave some folks on the classic? Why are they not using the remaining classics longer to help with the lift? I thought there was a greater shortage of DC-8 FEs and ANC FOs.

Sorry if this sounds like 20 questions, but for me, the vacancy/displacement system at UPS is quite confusing, just trying to gain a better understanding.
