And FWIW, until I came back to narrowbody flying last year, I hadn’t been to EWR for several years.

Read the first sentence of the crew resources update.
granted, long term planning meats every Wednesday..
but the most current information published states:
We are closing in on our summer 2020 staffing goals much more quickly than we were at this point last year, so do not expect a “mega-vacancy” next month.

I would consider that a fairly reliable source. Maybe things have changed since then but I was there when he said it.
From an extremely reliable source. Just sayin’ things change.

The question was posed regarding where the rumor may have started... I just provided a possible explanation.
