No, it happened a many carriers prior to 9/11. Especially those that had mixed fleets of props and jets that were receiving jet deliveries. Upgrades on the props were coming down. Especially at carriers that didn't have seat locks for FO's, or were lifting/reducing them to fill the turbo prop CA seats.
