It means you end up being the next "lifer" at Eagle without any decent company that would hire you. Unfortunately in your case, there won't be anything to suck dry as you will have poured it on the ground already.
Enjoy your "career" son.
You do realize you're the generation that negotiated and agreed to the rates that rewarded yourselves at the expense of up and coming pilots right? I was born into the situation that your generation created.
The legacy unions wouldn't sell out their future members with the low rates but the regional young turks at the time (you) decided, "let's bring the jets here and give the company the cost advantage to fly them here at the expense of new hires.
Remember when Eagle was having trouble hiring a couple years back? The company wanted to give newhires a sign on bonus and a retention bonus after the first year. Senior captains here wouldn't sign on unless there was some monetary gain for themselves.
Remember senior captains at Eagle demanding exit bonus or second year pay at AA.
Your generation is truly the entitlement generation while putting blame on everyone else.
