I question your situational awareness.
I know many 29-31 year old pilots that are newly minted regional FOs with ten years of flying under their belt from instruction to charter to freight to finally the regionals thanks to the recession.
I've personaly moved sixteen times since I left home when I was 18 chasing this nut.
I'd wager this generation of pilots have sob stories to go toe to toe with the Entitlement (social security, Medicare,) generation.
