As I stated, you've just proven AGAIN, it's all about you. You're just rationalizing your position on assumptive logic. Oh and BTW, we don't want you here at AA. Why ?
Because if you'll rationalize this course with only yourself in consideration now, you'll do it again at AA when you have to rationalize avoiding your next personal threat.

Agreed. You have indeed correctly identified your actions and we all can see that.

As to Compass. I am comfortable making 40k + the 20k my wife makes. I could not afford to pay for a hotel in training + airfare to training + 24k my first year. All those things combined to make a significant financial hardship.
In the end I do believe this will get voted down and I am comfortable with that decision if it comes to pass. In either case I'm going to work the next 3 years at Eagle and if I can't get a career job I'm out. I'm at peace with however this plays out.
If it fails, you will just become another weak link in the chain at Eagle and will be ready, willing and able to break yourself upon the next unreasonable threat. You will be no asset to any pilot group unfortunate enough to acquire you in the future, so nothing personal, but I hope you become a millionaire in another profession.
Have you ever thought of switching to airline management ?
You've got all the right qualities.
