Chew on that one for a few.
Why does it matter. Its a net gain in Captains now. The past is the past. If they don't move back up to a Captains seat then those FO's who have never been a Captain certainly are not moving back up. Not even sure what your point is other then the last 12 years were crappy for the airline industry.
