Yes, but has that actually happened yet???
Even if/when it does happen, MLL MECL run still harder on CM let alone the whole crew than APL EX1, which is not what ‘new’ APL ships will be on. This post was in context of Eterrible3 talking about run on which extra 3/m was removed and CM went back to watchstander. That was on the EX1 run and GSX run. Until new APL USEC/armpit of the world service is established and it becomes known what CM workload is like with SIU, it’s irrelevant and not an apples to apples comparison.
