Granted, legacys have the retirements to keep you moving up the list.
I liken the industry to the market. If you take a micro look at the operation day to day, you'll lose your mind following the ups and downs. If you scroll out and look at how the company has evolved since 1999, it paints a different picture. I try to stay positive because 1) I'm not leaving, and 2) there's nothing any of us can do so why get all fired up. We'll get through this.
I’m old enough to remember when pilots from the Big 3 were trying to get in at FedEx, because it’s a much more stable career now that everyone is afraid to fly due to Covid. Now that same airline has a pathway program to PSA. The only constant in this industry is change.
