1. Age has little to do with it. It's all about seniority... why would a senior pilot (of any age) be more concerned with junior pilots than himself? Makes no sense. The only thing different about a young senior pilot is that he cares if the company exists in 10-15 years.
2. How will junior pilots rule anything? If they're junior, that obviously implies there are senior pilots who will of course look after their own interests.

It is time for accountability at all levels.
I'm not sure what you're complaining about... if this covid thing had happened 20 years ago, there would 30,000 pilots on the street in the US alone. Between uncle sugar and union creativity there are a lot of junior pilots getting pay and benefits to do nothing right now.
