Sometimes I lurk old posts on this forum from around 2009 when airlines were reacting to the last major crisis and something I've noticed is that when anxieties start kicking up among mainline pilots, a small minority turn to soothing themselves by fantasizing about how much worse other people have it and how they're doing relatively well. Regional pilots are an obvious target for this therapeutic activity.
Just to be clear, I don't think this is a mainline behavior so much as it's a boomer behavior and mainline airlines have a higher proportion of those.
So how did you come to that broad brush conclusion? Let me guess...you’re NOT part of that demographic? If so, it’s always SO easy to just throw another large grouping of people you feel you don’t belong to under the metaphorical bus of righteous, informed, and moral superiority of your younger, more informed generation, right?
Right.
It never fails to amuse me that each follow on generation or two blames the previous generations for *whatever* and label them as selfish and out of touch, while failing to recognize that THEY, in turn, will be vilified in twenty to thirty years time as selfish and out of touch by their successors. It’s like a Merry Go Round, yet each generation feels as if they are the “enlightened” ones.
Reality is a *****. Wait till your kids and grandchildren blame YOU for the perceived ills of their world.
LOL!
