No, If saying Chillax is enough to cause a problem with anyone, then that person is wound too tight or too self absorbed.

The reality of this industry, over the past 35+ years, is that very few of us has had that Golden career we all dreamed of one day when we were in our teens and 20's. If anyone thinks that another demographic benefited at their expense, that, in my opinion, is very myopic.

And I can say that because I was hired Oct 2000. Furloughed for 3 years and 2 months and have enjoyed 2 years of positive movement in my 13 years here. There are plenty of reasons for the stagnation and backward sliding, and furloughs, but our fellow pilots are not the cause.

Anyway, have a great night.
