So yes I remember.

So a two year extension in the largest hiring boom ever in airline history is going to make this practically a non event.

I know you are going to say you got stuck at a regional longer. Probably a better deal than in 1993 when I got out of the military and me and most of my friends were either unemployed or working some crap job. So yes everybody has it tough every once and a while.

You want me to cry for you go live in the slums of Mumbai, you got nothing to cry about.
That's fine. It's your turn to sh*t on the pilots under you. I get it. But don't try to spin it than anything other than that. And I'll be sure to do what's in my limited power to stop 67 from happening.

And I promise I won't use my bad times as an excuse to treat the next generation poorly when it's my turn.
