This whole upgrade / flow / no rsv thing is a bit of a pyramid scheme. Everything remains rosy while there is growth. Lets not forget we have been in a up business cycle since 2009 - what happens with recession - music stops, upgrades stop, flow stops, misery rules all. This is not a new movie - its a rerun.
All true-- but you'd be a fool to sit around and wait. Get hired, sit longer than other regionals probably, but you're still gaining seniority. Upgrade and, unless it really hits the fan, you're still a captain.
Or, sit around and overthink, doubt what's happening in front of your eyes, miss out.
