It’s not that the old guys “know nothing.” Clearly your demographic has seen just about all the industry has to offer in the way of challenges and pitfalls. But the old guard at AA/USAIR/AWA have, in general, ended up with subpar working conditions for at least the last 20 years relative to our peers. Maybe an injection of new blood or a switch to ALPA will provide the needed change to get an industry standard contract at AAL.
