This is a theory of constraints issue, and FOs who either won’t or can’t upgrade are their limiting factor. One way or another, OO is better off with those FOs gone. Preferably to upgrade, but even them quitting helps relieve the constraint.
the issue is that you have no idea what FOs will or won’t upgrade. Sure, the lifers never planned on upgrading but those have been flushed by now.
Every FO leaving from now on will hurt your contrasting model as much as any CA. After all, those FOs soaked up “valuable CA time” without giving back as a CA.
the regional model is fu$&@ed until major hiring slows down. There is no good answer for any regional right now.
