Progression has been rapid since the end of Covid so any QOL hit is short lived. I'd attribute the unfilled CA vacancies more due to the fact that 1) the sheer volume of monthly CA vacancies, and 2) if one doesn't bid for an upgrade this month, they can next month or any other month.
I’m glad I was able to bring amusement to your humdrum life but I fail to see where I was trying to “spin” anything at the legacies as a bad thing. I said that there were aircraft parked for want of CAs at some legacies and regionals because if;
1. A pilot shortage
2. A reluctance of senior FOs to give up their seat seniority by upgrading. Both those issues give leverage to pilot groups for increased $ and better QOL in their next CBAs. Perhaps you consider that a “bad” thing. I certainly do not.
A rising tide lifts all boats, big and little.
