They both rejected the idea and called me all sort of names. I was OK with that. What's wrong with trying to move up my training date instead
of allowing someone junior to me to get my pay raise?
After having had years to think about my decision, I think I'd do it again with slightly "softer" verbage ...

Wow.
"My pay raise."
Their decision to swap wasn't going to affect your pay raise in any way. Who cares if a junior person goes before you within the scope of the contract? You are going to get paid the same.
This is why we had 57% say YES to a crappy contract because some folks were given a benny that others wouldn't get and they screwed their buddy.
Sorry Mark, but you really are "that guy." I can't believe you admitted it.
