Very true on the Captain upgrades for F/O's from my point of view, Just about at the required hours now for command and I have done zero study towards it, I currently have very little interest in a command here, reasons are I don't trust my current older contract to stay put and don't want the new shi**y ones, def don't want to end up in a 5/3 base in south Italy or somewhere as bad to commute from
I would rather stay on the higher rate F/O pay on 5/4 from my current base with great links home and look for another airline when the time comes or do something else completely rather than take a shafting as a new captain.
I also know a couple of other F/O's here who say exactly the same.
What a sad state of affairs in FR
