You called it! AE out. Nothing but table scraps. AE annoucement includes mention that hiring is slowing down and instructors will be hitting the line this summer to help the op. Doesn't say whether the two are related or not, but either way, this won't be the AE for people hoping to make that big move in 2024.
I’d look to June timeframe for stuff to happen again.

I was in A330 school in Feb. The instructors originally were talking about all flying the line mostly this summer and then GF, the head of A330 training held another instructors meeting where he told the instructors that things have changed and they need to continue training pilots (at least for the A330) because we need more pilots trained than originally planned. So instead of all hands on deck on the line, it's changed to all hands on deck in the schoolhouse. I don't know what changed, but obviously, they can get more pilots on the line by training them, vs. going out and flying for the summer. This just happened towards the end of my training the end of Feb. so I wouldn't be surprised to see a substantial amount of A330 A and B spots on the next few AE's.
Also, while on the A side in NYC we haven't seen many silver slips offered or awarded, the B side has quite a few Silver slips available for the next week or so so I'm guessing they're already short on staffing and it's only April.

For me, it always seems to be two weeks before I have training so that the sim operator and I are figuring out the scenario simultaneously. As others said, it's on the DLNET fleet page.
