Are we really supposed to lose much sleep over Pilots who base their budgets on PS and GS's?

UAL guy here. I voted yes because I can actually live on less pay and want the extra time off. Don’t forget, this isn’t less pay for the same days of work - it’s less days of work at the same hourly rate.
I heard Delta pulled a bait-and-switch on your SILs. That’s too bad, becauee I’ve been on one since March and learned I actually can live on 50 hours a month.
With this LOA, I’ll be working 11 days a month now on a NB. Sign me up.
I understand why pilots are voting no, but the above are my (selfish) reasons for voting yes.
