Isn't this less about overall staffing, and more about 12-month rolling guarantees? Seems to me it's literally how the system works. Understaffed some parts of the year, overstaffed others, everything averages out.
If so, yes, this summer and every summer (or high-demand period) would appear under-staffed, while the opposite (over-staffed) would also occur throughout the year. And it would never be a surprise, nor an indication of a failing of the system. It is, literally, the staffing system we work under.

It’ll go the same way every summer has gone during my ~decade here.
We are understaffed. Reroutes and greenslips for the win. A fall memo saying sorry bout that, we will are having a cross divisional multi silo vertically and horizontally integrated meeting to correct this so it doesn’t happen again. (Using as many college -100/200 business school textbook references possible).
Then one year from now people will be saying: “this summer is gonna be insane. They really expect us to work overtime and put up with these reroutes like we did last summer because they can’t properly manage staffing.”
And it’ll be a rinse and repeat cycle. It’s literally the same thing every year.
