Ah yes. The expectations were indeed crazily out of whack among the late 90's to 9/11 FNG's. Many expected to be 70-seat RJ captains at 25 driving to work in a shiny new vette. From there it was a major by 27, 757 F/O on your 30th birthday and captain by 35. The 777 left seat by 40 and then on to a 2.5 million pension to do nothing but tinker with your Baron and Extra 300 on your 60th birthday.
Airline management and the unions corrected that fantasy.......AFTER they got the needed number of idiots.
But hey, it got suckers, saps and simpletons in the door and by god, it still works today. Why just a few days ago, the same song and dance got hundreds of chumps to fleece themselves over at PSA without so much as a single encore necessary.
Dopey pilots........when will they ever learn ?
