This exists at all regionals that were around before age 65. The economy and age 65 took 7~10 years from us. Now, recruiters want the same pale-face youth that was typical of regionals before age 65, but only see that at the new bottom feeders. You know, the ones that re-invented themselves coming out of bankruptcy/de-listing, or rebuilt by a legacy with alter-ego intentions. Eagle, Wisconsin, XJT, ASA (and even OO in a way) are all seniority heavy still. Without true flow, it is a natural progression of a regional.
