Are the downgraded captains ready to be FO's for another 5 years or more until they "upgrade"?
Back when I got hired, I remember 7-year Eagle FOs quit and came to Comair for a "quick" upgrade. Oops.
So, other regionals are hiring. A better question is: How long do you think it'll take those new hires to upgrade? Plenty of senior FOs at those airlines, too. If you're on reserve as an FO at Comair, yeah, I'd probably bail. But as a downgrade, my QoL is much better staying here than leaving, starting over at first-year pay, going back on reserve, not to mention being at the bottom of the list.
So yeah, I'm willing to wait until something better comes along.
