Edit: Just to respond to the person above. I disagree. If you have 400+ hours of PTO, I'd much rather have the $100,000+ that many have in my own bank account. Supplement STD/LTD? Sure I get that, but when I have an extra 6 figures cashed out and sitting in my bank account, I can live off that plus other savings. There's no way I'm letting my PTO revert back to FO rates when I can cash it out and have that much more money on hand. Everyone says not to use PTO as an FO and wait for the upgrade, it would make no sense to hold onto it if you're being displaced back to the right seat for an unknown amount of time.
Like I said, everyone has to make their own decision, I’m just adding some color. I’ve been downgraded twice over the past 6 years, and not once did I consider selling back. That’s just me though. But, I also keep my bank low. But if you’re near the max, selling back a couple hundred hours may not be a bad idea.
