It is human nature to be self sighted, but this industry is, and always has been extremely cyclical. The last classes hired at the majors in the 60's sat on the panel of 727's for a decade. UA, AA, DL...just now finishing up last furlough recall... Have you talked to anyone at US Air that was hired in the 80's or 90's.... Miserable.... Braniff, Eastern, TWA, Pan Am, Comair, World.... Get over yourselves... this career is a crap shoot... period... and if your "6000+" hours in your chosen field are "worthless".... that's your fault.
