Cool your jets, man, and read my post.

I was making the point that, when senior guys tell you that you haven't paid your dues yet, you can point out that today's new hires aren't like they were in the good old days - now it takes years to amass the competitive times required for this job. Therefore, pilots may be new HERE, but they're not new at the BUSINESS.

This argument also crops up in the over-60 debate.

The whole world isn't against you Coffee B. Conserve your rounds.
