There is some DFW FO's that were CA's. I flew with one 2 weeks ago bidding senior FO RSV (intentionally) and not working much. He chose to downgrade on a displacement. Plans to flow as an FO.
Speaking of that I have flown with a few senior FO's lately that aren't upgrading because junior CA QOL sucks and they know it, they don't work as much in the right seat, have better QOL and pick up 200% OT to make up some of the difference in pay. They plan to stay senior right seat and flow without ever upgrading.
