And there's where a lot of the animosity comes from. They want sympathy and empathy they won't give in return. They want to be made whole but you never get the feeling they want it for the betterment of the profession or to pave the way for their fellow pilots.No, it's all about them. They never want to acknowledge that other people in the industry also had it bad, or even worse than them.

And I want to make it clear that my heartburn is with these select, specific rotten apples, and not all senior dudes that got screwed as a whole. But we all know these loud minorities at the extremes tend to ruin things for the rest of the rational folk in the middle.
