Well maybe no one is an over statement. The numbers are likely few and far between. In my years flying at Delta I can only think of one guy that might be a candidate for that kind of attitude. Then again I'm not flying wide body so maybe there are a few old curmudgeons out there that might exhibit this attitude but by no means would I say it is a popular thought process.

It's 99% about the erosion of non-rev seniority with respect to PSC and maybe a 1% for other ignorant attitudes such as "back in my day".
