That's just my opinion and it happens to be different than yours. Why do you even care anyway? Is not the West's supposed trifecta be more of a concern to your current situation?

I have a lot of concerns and don't limit myself to what others think I should or shouldn't be concerned about. It's nice to hear you say you'll accept getting the shaft in a pilot poaching war, but I suspect if you were truly facing the gun barrel at 45 or so with kids in college or planning on it, etc. you'd reveal quite an about face. Almost all pilots do despite claims otherwise previously.
Again, if I were truly a sadist, I'd LOVE to watch such a horror show and giggle at the sobbing posts of those who lose as their bad luck reveals itself, but that's for the disturbed. I simply keep trying to bang at least a few skulls in the new generation of hapless pilots that seem hell bent on screwing themselves like past generations did in new and unusual ways, but the louder I speak, the deeper many seem to plug their ears.
Perhaps it's destiny for yet another group of pilots to cling to the promises guaranteed to them only to have them be broken for any number of reasons or advocate pushing others down the stairs to avoid or at least cushion their own fall and my efforts will be in vain, but at least I have a clear conscience that I tried.
