Personally, I think the long term LUS guys are f'ed, I do feel for them.
Whether or not the several hundred LUS 3rd listers are placed behind the 1000 or so AA guys with 98-00 hire dates, you're still going to have an awesome career. Those guys have about 10-15 years left on them (at most) and they will be retiring en mass as well.
You make it sound like 10-15 years is no big deal. For many 3rd listers, thats more than half of their remaining career. For some, thats all they have left. In an industry this volatile, 10-15 years is an eternity.
