I can understand the reluctance of senior captains (top 25%) to make a move, as anything would be a massive pay cut for them. I think they assumed that if they ever did downgrade, worst case they could be FOs indefinitely while they looked for a job.
But for junior captains and FOs to not be out there shaking the trees (or finishing up that degree) for the past two years, that I don't understand.
You should pile on! This group needs a kick in ths a@@. I don't know how many times I have heard, "I am just riding the ship down, or I will lock the doors on my way out." Just bc so many guys don't think there is anything else to do. Anyone under 31, work for ATC, that's the best gig out there. If you miss flying, go rent something.
