My original post was in response to someone stating that a lot of people hired in their 20s over 30 years ago this was their first 121 job. I don’t know what you mean with accusations of differentiations?
I disagree with your assessment. I have quite a few friends who came up through the regionals and they all aspired to the majors because they wanted to be able to make >350k/year and have 18+ days off with good benefits. They didn't say oh I got used to 10 days off a month for sh$t pay so I'm cool with 13 days off for decent pay. Everyone has their eye on the prize. The only demographic that tend to be a bit weak kneed (not all of them) are the guys/gals who are retiring in the next 1-5 years. For whatever reason a lot of them are big time forward leaners and would be satisfied with minor improvements and a few more dollars.
