It was less than 20 years ago that this happened to them so your overall opinion lacks merit. Not to mention the decade post 2001 included concessionary contracts and a lot of furloughs for years at a time.
I dunno man like 10+ years making 400k in the strongest bull run in American history, not to mention 5 bonus years at the top of the seniority list. The crying poor argument is falling on deaf ears. The people who got really screwed are almost entirely long gone.
