Exactly right. The capriciousness of this industry never ceases to astonish me.
I have students of mine that are captains at SWA or FDX and I am on my 3rd major (a total of 9 years furloughed twice), 2 fractionals, 1 regional, 1 Corp-135 and 1 freight. 9 type ratings and an FE ticket later and I polish a desk 40 hrs a week. All because I hired on at UAL when I did.
Fair? No. But that's life. I'm not bitter. Just nonplussed.
