Fair enough.
It just came across to me as "y'all stop complaining, I don't wanna hear it; you know what you're getting into." Certainly fair but is somewhat disingenuous when guys who got theirs put ALL the blame on the younger crowd via the "if you don't want the low pay, don't take the job, don't complain" argument, when they did the same thing early in their careers. That's the ladder I speak of.
The last decade+ has certainly been frustrating for a lot of regional and to a lesser extent, major guys...I'm not condoning the b**ching and moaning, but it's understandable. Agreed the outlook now looks good, *fingers crossed*. Hopefully prosperity ensues for us all.
