And EVERYONE will eventually be one of those people, unless you plan on dying without dipping any lower on the Medallion ladder. You just lost a month on your 2025 Medallion year Diamond status, or whenever. Mine will hopefully come earlier.
So every single person with status (except the dead ones and we know what happens to them) just lost a month.
Isn't that worth at least a small sigh from the crowd?
No small sigh from this Diamond. True, we will 'lose' a month somewhere in the future -- unless the rules change again -- but IMO, that is a small tradeoff for knowing that for one additional month every year, there won't be pseudo elites competing for UG's. I will gladly take that tradeoff for the next 10 yrs.
