The post 2014 newhires didn't live through the 'lost decade' at AA. But plenty did at the regionals. The vast majority of senior FO's and anyone senior to perhaps 5,000 (?) seniority up to perhaps 500-1000 seniority lived the 'lost decade' at AA.
A 2014-2020 pure military guy might no clue about the 'lost decade'.
