that's because the company was forced to upgrade 8/month against their will, that's over now, they have no reason to upgrade anyone, besides you'll just sit as an CA on FO reserve for your first year. ASA has 14 year CA reserves. Yes, as an FO, you'll move up to the glass ceiling, 8 year FO, upgrade to reserve forever until you leave. ASA is a great contract and good pay QOL, so come here for a year or 2, get some 121 SIC and leave for major/LCC and get some real time. besides upgrade is much faster at Allegiant, Frontier, Spirit
