The fault lies in both these people's hands.

The senior guys in the industry would sell everything to protect and further their career. As seen in how fast scope disappears when the company rattles their saber.

The junior guy know the bad places to work. But go there anyway for things like flying jets, and quick upgrades. In the past it was PFT. The larger regionals at the time were PFT, Comair, ASA, ExpressJet. Then it was no pay/hotel (no dig, just truth). Even now it's, I'll fly the 200 before the 1900.

We undercut ourselves, just as much as the old-timers.
