Tangent: are there a ton of pilots struggling to remain qualified and well practiced given all the flights not flying?

From what I understand, most airlines are rotating the few remaining shifts. This way each pilot gets a couple of flights per month, which is enough to keep their ratings.

That said, since many airlines have completely stopped flying some plane types (particulary the A380 superjumbo), those pilots are going to have a problem soon.

AFAIK, some airlines were scheduling _extremely_ few flights of larger aircraft purely to keep currency.
