The sarcasm was perfectly clear. But you are welcome. Someone had to upgrade to get others bypass pay. I flew as a released captain for 6 months while still on probation. Not something everyone is willing to do.
Listen, I never begrudged a longterm bypass SIC. But now the gravy train is over and I don't feel sorry for you. You had a good thing going and now its over. Get over it.
I remember when the first bypass FOs were coming up on the 2 year mark. It was widely assumed that they would have to take the first upgrade bid that came along after their seatlock was up or revert to SIC pay. That was the assumption because thats what bypass pay was for. To protect people who HAD NO OPPORTUNITY to upgrade.
The company dropped the ball and created a status qou of continueing to pay bypass forever. Well, not forever, just till now.
