The dice were rolled and it is what it is. I've enjoyed being a CA and learned an awful lot. But when it comes time to go back to the right seat I will respectfully put back on the 3 stripe eppaulets. At least I'll still have a job which is more than I can say for a lot of pilots we work with.

The difference is while the fences may hurt me, I'm not bitter. The dice were thrown, and I got craps. Oh well.
That said, I'll still wear the four stripes I earned, and I'll respect the CA to my left. If you have a problem with that, too bad.

A $15,000 paycut is alot better than a 100% paycut. You'll be the new hot gossip in the crew room, congrats. Why don't you walk around and slap every FO with your extra stripe as you downgrade ahead of them at the airline they were hired by. Lightening can only strike 3 times before someone gets hurt.
