But you aren’t being hired in 1999. That was a bad time to be hired. Guys hired 4 years ago are just a few hundred numbers from a left seat (probably get it in the next year) and guys hired 2 years ago are sitting in the right seats of 787s and 777s. Now is a GREAT time to be hired at United with 400-700 retirements a year for the next 12 years guaranteed.
Using the opinion of someone hired right before 9/11 is stupid.
