I assume upgrades will pick up at some point...
Yes, we have a looming captain shortage. Slowing upgrades was a temporary fix to buy time. Time is about to be up.. probably already is. So we are going to be stuck with low peeps in both seats. I predict many criticals for captains starting soon. They will have to come up with more FOs, fix training, and get guys upgraded very soon.
