121 is a completely different animal than 91 GA. There’s very little compassion to be honest.
Its the Law of Averages.
Average training designed to get the average pilot through at average cost with an average wash-out rate.
Sometimes the Law of Unintended Consequences gets designated PIC.

Dang, that is so spot on especially when one of the leftover dummies (when the Capt rests) must sign the PIC times on the paperwork. Always pointing to the senior FO (me) as I tell them you really want to go with the lowest common denominator of complacency. 
My responsibilities are specifically to be the Capts seeing eye dog on the ground when traveling commercially (airline, train, limo) to proper hotels through Europe or Asia - that's it!

Considering the mass exodus from the 737 fleet upon completion of the 24 month bidding block, I can not understand how this would be possible. Your source seems questionable.

So I'd say based on numbers, that claim is plausible. Those guys are not flying either, they are very overstaffed on that fleet.
The 737 is a VERY junior fleet. We hired 0-2 a month for a long time. These big 737 classes are a very recent phenomenon.

Just to confirm this btw, someone in the Talent Acquisition Team just told me the same thing. Current plan is no outside hires for the 737 for the rest of the year.
