If I flew as much as you do, I wouldn't mind a downgrade like that. But not flying much lately, I wouldn't volunteer for a downgrade, not even for a $300 travel certificate.
Maybe knowing that Catman would be at EWR to meet you--the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak--made you not feel so bad sitting in the back.
