Except people do notice. This is a major problem with millennials. Your 20’s is when you want to start making money, saving for and buying a home, starting a family. A delay puts all that on hold which is bad for the country and eventually people don’t wait and take up other lines of work which hurts pilot supply long term. I know many that left the industry in their 20s bc of the effects of age 65 and 2008 together. They never came back bc life happened and starting over wasn’t an option.
Older gens think sure a younger person can recover or wait out a pause but life doesn’t go on pause while your career does. Decisions get made and pilots leave from the bottom and cut their losses
