My bet is forced upgrade in the new TA. The company will tell you that they don’t hire FOs…they hire “captains in training.” They don’t want senior FOs. They want people to upgrade. In a forced upgrade situation, the senior FOs will either upgrade or quit. Obviously, the company would prefer the upgrade option, but having them quit would shift the FO flying more junior. I don’t know…just a thought.
