Will this be a chance for Terms and Conditions to be pared back a bit I wonder. I see from other posts Easy appear to be having a go at that and no doubt where one part of the industry goes then the others won't be far behind.
I agree that staffing will probably be stagnant for a while, it'll be retirements that open up vacancies rather than staff moving on. Perhaps as controllers retire it'll be left as it is and maybe not recruit at all. Minimum staffing will probably also entail controllers taking on a support role rather than dedicated support staff. Not a particularly good time to be starting a career within ATC, especially if you have self sponsored!
