You missed the point…

The guy posting in the last few pages is genuinely concerned that the sky is falling because we had a tough week operationally. This is not the first one, and won’t be the last.

It’s not a gripe about new guys not paying dues. Covid is the first “industry event” that many pilots have been through, and career wise it was relatively benign. In fact it’s probably more net positive for them as it boosted retirements and more guys will see majors in their 20’s than in their 40’s.

I hope for your sakes you sail right through to the position you wanted and enjoy long fruitful careers, I really do.

But those who have surfed a few industry cycles have a icier veins for things like the idea of a few hundred cancellations threatening their job.
