But the guy getting downgraded had all his darts thrown out there, and couldn't get a single Captain slot due to the BS Bloch quotas and fences..
That wasn't the argument. The argument was if the CA who gets displaced and now has to commute has it as bad as the 3 year FO who now might have to sit FO for 2 more years. It never was a discussion about worse than a downgraded CA, everyone knows that's the case. Purdue never said he was one of those downgrades, so as far as im concerned he's just a regular FO. He threw the downgrade into the argument as a curveball when it had nothing to do with what I was talking about.
