For those of us near the top of the FO list...we don't even have the "impending upgrade" to keep us here since that seems like deep into spring before that happens...I sense some CA's could come crashing down on us before that.
A lateral move is not a no-brainer but it would not be detrimental if made under the right circumstances. As each day goes by, I would feel less and less like I would "regret it"

IIRC you need 500 or 1,000 hours as PIC to be a LCA at AWAC. Chances are you won't hit that before they start downgrading or furloughing.
I remember when Mesaba was first getting their CRJs, FOs left AWAC and went to Mesaba. They were made instant LCA because they actually had time in the plane. Great career move.

You have training dept experience. Go to a place with an instant upgrade and work your way into the LCA cadre. Absolute best thing you can do for yourself IMO.

Can someone please explain the logic behind keeping the apu off while coming in. We work at a company that isn't willing to negotiate fair compensation; one that doesn't pay for fuel; and although they pay for cycles on the apu, fvc! them. Turn that thing on at 12,000 instead of starving the cabin of airflow when you pull the thrust levers to idle during descent and the 20 minute taxi. I think it would be different if we were getting bonuses and profit sharing checks, but we are not.

Staffing issues: The PHL ALB turn for which Crew Scheduling was tweeting in search of an FO was cancelled.
I am sad to see cancellations purely for staffing. Hopefully the company can do something to turn the situation around.

Maybe for the best. They obviously didn't care that their handling of the staffing issues would severely impact morale and attrition. Now that it is costing them (and AA) money and reputation, they might finally do something about it. Nothing changed at the other regionals until flights were getting cancelled and management couldn't collect their shiny performance bonuses
