When I was first hired I remember hearing about downgrades, and maybe it was some PTSD from the regionals, but I remember being shocked to hear people talking about it like it was not the worst thing in the world. It took being a senior-ish FO and experiencing senior-ish FO pay at a major to understand what they were talking about. I mean, I couldn't pay cash for a Maserati, but life was not bad.
Downgrades 2026. We will rebuild!
