Everyone should be trying to get to a major, but a LCC is kind of a gamble that you'll beat the 12 year and decreasing flow.
Exactly. OP also leaves out that those flowing after 12 years were victims of the "lost decade". Not 12 years for someone hired today. Probably someone that won't have their 1500 for a few more months, and wants to discourage people from going there and getting in front of him on the list.
