So I think when you start to see upwards movement and people who have been treading water start to move then the mood will pick up. And when folks aren't staring down MD's to MDs all of the time, they'll be a little happier.
I try not to think about it, but then I fly with a capt who tells me he got in the right seat of the whale at 5 years and the left seat of the 757 at 10 years. I'm glad for him that he had that kind of career, but it's a whole different ballgame these days.
