I'm also tired of the newer guys of being accused of throwing the older guys under the bus. Management has to love the irony of people that weren't here during the decimation of retirements becoming the newest straw men. We weren't responsible for that so I think it's best you keep your anger pointed at management.

Wow. From your last paragraph YOU seem to be the angry one. I have not experienced what you claim. No you weren't responsible for the losses. Neither were the pilots that were here during that time. 9-11, SARS, bankruptcy and the bankruptcy laws were. But the pilots that were here DID suffer some serious losses that you didn't experience. Do you just want to ignore that? Sounds like it.
