With the age demographics changing as they are, it will be interesting to see where the "pilot's" focus will gravitate. I am willing to guess the junior pilots will rule the day sooner than expected and their focus will not be on the senior pilots careers.
Unity is hard fought and easily lost. When any group feels left out, the finger pointing starts, the wagons are circled and the rice bowls are fiercely protected at the expense of us all. Doing the right thing every time takes more energy, but in the end, best value for all must be the goal. Anyone who does not have that as a core belief is part of the problem and should be removed from office, we are labor. There has been enough damage done already. It is time for accountability at all levels.
