While you're right about the importance of your upgrade to your career, the NB to WB jump isn't the big deal you think it is. Just take a look at the 737 rate vs. the 767 rate. I know a few guys in my seniority range who stayed on the 73, and are very senior in category. They have far better schedules than I, while making only a little less money.
