We are way over the 60/40 CA/FO ratio. Except in the Phenom. They don't want to upgrade because we have too many captains overall. So, they continue to displace captains from larger fleets that are in disposal, but many of these captains can't fit in the Phenom, and so they get displaced to other airplanes. The ones that do fit only stay long enough to bid back out into the next open airplane. This incurs the cost of two type ratings for the company. If the company wasn't so short sighted in their cost savings, they would realize that it would be cheaper in the long run to run a few upgrade classes for the Phenom and let the displaced captains sit at home until the next airplane is available.
