I don't think you upset anyone. I am just making the comparison that your situation isn't unique. I understand that is not consolation.
For myself, I try to divorce myself from "expectations" and just live within my means and enjoy my trips. Big picture, life is good.
Definitely not unique no arguing from me on that one.
Just got off phone with 91 hire I recognized on seniority list. He put his situation compared to mine better than I could. Here is what he said:
Furloughed for 2 years 8 month vs 6 years 100% longer furlough.
Here is the biggest difference though according to him, he has been a wide body line holding fairly senior FO for 17 years of his 22 vs I will be a narrow body jr FO for 17 years prior to even cracking the top 20% of the seniority list. He then said you will be essentially a new hire for 60% of your career.
It was actually a depressing conversation. I had not thought of it in those terms.
So I guess the 91s are the same as my generation but he seemed to think he had it better. Who knows.
But don't worry I don't pine away for advancement I live within my means and enjoy life.
