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.
That's interesting, I personally know a pilot who spent 8 years in the right seat of an MD-88 and upgraded at 13 years. That was after spending a decade at a regional and time at an LCC. So 24 years into an airline career they grabbed the brass ring of the NB A and will be there for the remainder. And never had a pension or PBGC entitlement BTW
