Everyone has had some sort of crap sandwich the last 10 years. I didn't lose my retirement, you did. You didn't get an extra 5 years on reserve as a narrowbody FO, I did. Newhires getting hired right now will be captains in 7 years and retire with millions of dollars so they all suck the most.
A lot of new hires right now spent their extra 5 years in an rj. The lucky ones are the guys getting hired in their mid 20's who never even had to fly as a captain.
