CU-APA,
afaik pilots of all ranks are resigning, the delay in upgrading comes from CX hiring DEFO bypassing current SOs and the slow but steady transitioning from 1SO on longhauls to 2SO, increasing the need for SOs in the company, but reducing the need for FOs. Another factor is that the training resources are exhausted with the DEFO and also training captains to be trainers.
The reason above, the toxic culture, constant lies about upgrades and a lot of other things and living cost/ qualify are, just to name a few, some of the reasons why myself and a lot of other SOs resigned.
Lots of other, much better options out there at the moment.
