Slice NAILED it.
Getting hired at a legacy at your age was an impressive feat. But as you said, you weren't the first and you won't be the last.
But a slight bit of naïveté/ignorance is showing through here. As far as the bold part, NO. It WOULDN'T fix the "industry". Pilots being on a mainline list DOESNT fix an industry where the companies are a "Corp" or "Inc" and is STILL driven by Wall St, stock price, share holder value, quarterly reports, CASM, RSM's, whatever......
It would simply help the
CAREER get BACK to where it belongs.
Annnnnnnnnnd, as COD said, who else has been hired lately?
