Amen, different strokes for different folks. I just flew a week long trip with a captain and he has been in the left seat for 9 years now and is still only bidding at 85%! He's only been able to do it because he live in base (LAX).

Everybody's situation is different and you can never questions someones decision to upgrade or remain in the right seat. Look at yourself in mirror and only you know what the best answer is, and you'll probably still be wrong
