I’m optimistic I can hold WB CA on the next bid, so I’m trying to decide if I should enjoy a bit of seniority as a 77F on this bid, but just want to make sure I’m not leaving too much money on the table passing on 75C. One poster recommended using the monthly SIG bid guides, so I added up all the 75C RLG(assumed worst case since I’d be so junior) to 77F BLG for 2021. I came up with a 29kish difference. The unknown would be how much BKO would close that gap. It’s definitely a marathon and not a sprint for me with 25+ years left, so making a few grand less and controlling my days off and vacation weeks would be preferable.

I’m still wrestling with the decision, so if you have been sitting on the sidelines and feel like you have something useful to contribute, please jump in and share.

Feel very lucky to be at my dream job and already have these type of decisions to make so early into my time here.
similar position as you. I will likely stay on 77F. Lot of career left. seniority for days off, better trips, and vacation are more important to me than working a lot harder for almost the same pay. Also you’re gonna be junior for a long time as guys wait to upgrade….but I commute.
