The practical reality is, why would I subscribe to the parasitic desire of the new wave of pilots to seize any and all flying from major carriers if I had a seniority number at one and planned to fly there one day ?
Acknowledging the realities of competitive
scope is not the same as openly advocating the theft of work from other carriers, be they majors or regionals and confusing the two only leads me to believe that you too are among the "new breed".
I'm sorry, but are you angry because the pretty road you imagined in your head isn't coming true?
Get used to it. This is the way it is. People are flying because they want to and are getting hired. The current state of affairs will not change so you can have your heavy metal job. Nobody is doing anything anyone else wouldn't do if they were in the new guy's shoes...including yourself.
This is not the new wave's fault. You're out of your mind if you think the new guys should just step down and stop wanting to fly because it will hinder your career advancement.
