Hacker,
You said you're staying in to retirement- get your butt in a vault and learn to appreciate others' roles! I would like to see your butt in a Blackhawk or any rotary wing for an indoc ride for a few hours of combat time in the OIF box!
Or, stay blissfully unaware and belittle... Sure, some blow the threat out of proportion, but you don't seem to appreciate the actual one.
Now that this thread's well hijacked, I'll concur that I haven't heard anything about a particular part 121 carrier having a big trend against heavies or fighters. I have some anecdotes, but no trends.
