I find it odd because pilots hired post 2007 have seen a unheard of level of advancement. They will also enjoy a retirement probably triple pilots who have retired in the last 5 years.
No more rediculous than those that have been haranguing anyone who will listen about how they "earned" their position and the right to stay in it as long as they like. While of course completely ignoring the mandatory retirements that got them there in the first place. It's brought out ugliness on both sides of the issue.
