And how many of those copilots are there, because CJ has been recruiting CRJ DEC for ages already. So I suspect there’s either not enough of those experienced FOs or they are not considered ready/suitable for upgrade yet. Otherwise I suspect it would make sense to upgrade, both financially and operationally. Replacement FOs are easier to find than experienced captains.
