Not to mention the decade post 2001 included concessionary contracts and a lot of furloughs for years at a time.

Yeah airways people are probably worst case. Perma-FO, concessionary contract, and lost pension.

But I admit to having more sympathy for the extra five years back in 2007, than extra years today.
