imho, ualgrizz has got it pretty much spot on!

Perhaps the only rider that I might add (and also as I wrote previously) would be to suggest that a move from the RHS to the LHS might take a lot longer than some F/O's are either expecting or willing to wait for, what with a significant number of highly experienced F/O's already in place within the company.

Note well that Cmd upgrades within flydubai are done on the basis of seniority, followed by meritocracy.

If flydubai do not order some more aircraft (over and above the ones that have already been ordered and which are still be delivered), any F/O who joins the company today would be looking at a significant number of years before they get a chance at a Cmd upgrade, this being a situation which some flydubai F/O's are now realising and stuck with.

And even if flydubai do order some more aircraft, the timescale of their delivery might be such as to make any chance of a Cmd upgrade almost intangibly remote.

Do the math!
