I wouldn't say over stocked, but because of the new J class refits there won't be as many flights and therefore not as many SOs needed in the interim. A lot of the current SOs who have been given a B737 slot, are still waiting for a slot to open up for the sim so they can start their training. So I'd still think more SOs would still be needed.
I've also heard that the August B777 course has been cancelled due to the above?
