not as bad as you think, but not great by any means
if new f/o's dont come there will be more DEC's because they cannot release the already delayed EK f/o'sfor upgrade training,keep in mind the airplanes here need 1 Capt and 1 F/O,so new airplanes need F/O's just as much as Capt.'s
just as the thread title says with out the intake of F/O's your upgrade may be delayed
