Not jealous at all, actually. He took the bid knowing darn well that he would be stuck at the bottom of the most junior base for a long time. Now he's having buyers remorse and trying to find a better deal while staying in the left seat.

I think my advice was very productive. Take a bid that is realistic for your seniority of today...not what it was prior to SLI. If that's spreading the hate, so be it.
