I guess by JJ and Ranger's standards I should be cleared in hot to b!+ch up a storm. Can't hold any Capt seat anywhere...wait a minute, I could've held Paris or Hong Kong! Never mind. I'm not allowed to complain anymore. I'll just act like an old fart and tell everyone to shut up and quit whining.
You're quoting my post of: "Me too, thought I said that" and then coming on with all the above and a paragraph that I removed of yours, because I thought it wasn't about this issue, really had me going.
I'm not advocating that one needs to take the very first upgrade they can, regardless of where it is. I've said that very thing in another post earlier today. However, I feel that if one continues to hang out, for a long period of time, in a s/o or f/o seat, for "seniority purposes", while forsaking a captain upgrade, then one gives up any right to expect more money for that seat. As I said in the other post, I can certainly understand someone not wanting to uproot their family to chase some bucks in a domicile they're not interested in being at. But if your base is (for example) Memphis, don't continuously pass on an upgrade in that base, and then come and complain that you're underpaid in your current seat.
