Upgrades
Not true ! Just flown with CT A330 few days a go and confirmed upgrades on A330 continue and A320 as well some F/Os waiting CEOs clereance and some DEC training in progress so upgrades slow down but it will start again in Jan .
B 777 upgrades will also take place in 1 y when B777 will not be mistery any more .
New jojning F/O has to wait for 5-6 y at the moment to promotion which is ok becouse in any other big airline you have to wait much more 7-12 maybe even 14y . That makes 5-6 y GOOD !
