I also upgraded at 9L pre-merger ('08). I'm fully expecting to be downgraded before this year is over, and when I do I guarantee you I will NOT be wearing 4 stripes in the right seat. That, in my opinion, is HIGHLY disrespectful to the guy sitting next to you. Note - This does NOT pertain to check airman and their jobs.
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.

Well, this colgan guy (who upgraded prior to the SLI, and could have held a 200 CA slot, but didn't) will be getting down graded (including the 15000pay cut).
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.

Yea and if you read the post it was a reaponse to then you would understand that there is no reason for your industry superman attitude. This guy is even lucky to have a job, read a little more before you decide to lecture.

I did read the other post about super-pilot. It seemed on-topic with the thread, although not the digression admittedly. I think that attitude is shared by more than that super-captain.
