Forced or not, at least PSA is getting enough folks to allow upgrades and career progression...

More points for PSA.
It’s a double edged sword. I don’t think it’s unique to just PSA, but to the wholly owneds in general. When we had premium pay, as an FO, I was making only 200 bucks less a month than a reserve captain and had almost a week off more each month as well. I could have easily made more than a reserve captain if I wanted similar days off. The only reason to upgrade at a wholly owned now is to boost your resumé. Pay and QOL doesn’t mean anything like it used to. Not to mention every FO I’ve flown with has said they’ve flown with several forced upgrades that they would not fly with again. And it’s not because of personality issues.
