You were obviously happy with your seat and your pay for that seat pre-COVID, otherwise you would have bid something else. Now you’re jealous of those who did take a bid. Again, sounds like a personal problem.

My point is get over it and move on.
No sugar high here. I’m retired so my monthly check is less ... much less. Not complaining.
In full disclosure ... If I were still on the property the agreement would not have cost me a dime. Last few years I bid low time and dropped from there. I know a few other guys that did the same.
I learned to work to live rather than live to work ... You don’t get to take a whole lot of it with you when you leave.
I am blessed in that I went through several airlines and other industry wild rides early on in my career. I learned early on the benefits of living within or below my means early on. Makes for low stress and few worries. YMMV

It WOULD have cost you many dimes during your vacation months. But lets just ignore facts.

A vote on cutting someone else’s compensation is vastly different than voting on how the gains are divided. Going forward, how much are we willing to devalue this career?

Suggestion, don’t base your argument on the fact that I’m living above my means.

Do you sleep with all of your lights on in your house, because you seem to have a lot of irrational fears?
