When I started at regionals I was told a four year upgrade. Within a year, it was a 0 month upgrade. Things change quickly, either way.
Then think about it this way: if you upgrade, someone needs to take your spot. We don’t allow captains to fly in the right seat here. FOs leaving doesn’t magically make upgrades better when there’s not enough in the pipeline to replace them.
