You can laugh with the Pitta dude all you want but actually what he was saying is very VERY true!
They ARE considering slowing down the upgrade process because once more we have too many captains and DEC are readily available anyway!
Unfortunately, the same is happening at EY for the same reasons, so going there will not change a dime in case you are an FO looking for a command! They have a three year policy there as well now, upgrades are all on A320 and by the time you reach your 3 years at EY you will be in exactly the same position as you are in here!
Once more back to the old adagio...you do not come here for a promotion, expect to leave the sandpit in the same position you came with and you'll be fine!
What a fine region this is!
