The fact is due to the augment staffing models one ends up with a lot of W/B F/O's replacing NB Captain slots. The votes that help push this often come from lifer F/O's Reps who have never flown in the left seat and do not truly appreciate what is being given away.

It's one thing if want wants to spend ones career as an F/O, it's another if there is no choice.....
