Truth is, it's not a generation thing that's the problem, it's a gene pool problem.

And too often we bury the best of the gene pool at Arlington and are stuck with pilots who thought it was their right to never save a dime and buy multiple homes, boats, planes and cars and now that the pension disappeared they're willing to throw everyone under a bus for a pay raise most feel is inadequate even if we tightened scope.... ?

The man is a douche bag and if I was a drinker I'd like to propose a toast to all of the senior guys here who bother and enjoy interacting with those hanging on the bottom and stand up for everyone on the list and the one thing that matters most- employment.

Thanks, you guys rock.
Great post dude.
