Just enjoy the paid time off.
Agreed, 100%.
Assuming the airline survives (I give us one chance in three), this is best looked at as a glorious summer. An entire summer off, with paychecks?
Already lost 20 lbs, and after some initial friction, wife and I are getting along great, and that 3 week backpacking trip I've wanted since college graduation is about to become a reality. The $$$ cost is a bit high ($150k++ in lost income with the downgrade, no bonuses, and wage stagnation), but I agree...make the most of it, if your finances allow.
Why worry about what you can't possibly control?
