I made $16000 my first year with no health insurance here. Unironically I miss those days.

There are lots of us, me included, who remember those times just like you. You liked that environment run by the Saving Continental Again Brotherhood representatives and MEC? I'm sure the company will be happy when you forgo your health care and all those pay and benefit gains today and send money back to them. I'll be generous though: you can keep the $16,000 adjusted for inflation to today's dollar as I wouldn't want you to "struggle" as an aviation professional. I'm sure that's more than enough for Microsoft Flight Sim missions in your parents' basement.

Whoa. The guy is just recalling his youth. Have you considered counseling?

I remember those days and I wouldn't wish them on anyone. Don't understand how someone can be nostalgic about those kind of working conditions and miss them? I do miss the camaradrie of a smaller company and when we stayed with the same crew for the entire trip. There are things I do miss and reflect on as I get to the later part of my career, but the pay and benefits aren't even on the radar for that.
