I’d disagree that we are a down economy airline, we did not do mich better through the recession than the big 3. Sure, we didn’t claim BK, but last I checked we still furloughed... someone chime in on what percentage it was relative to the big guys? We saw a little growth, but the big 3 have also recovered and grown.

Is this a good job and relatively secure? Sure. But a downturn would not be friendly right now... whereas back to the original poster, everywhere else has the retirements to sustain jobs.
