I wonder what is more cost effective for the company? I would imagine that's the direction that will be taken...(and by that I mean rammed down your throats). People frequently mention our 3-year or 5-year CA's at CAL. It's not JUST because of all those retirements. Anyone who has ever sat reserve here will tell you that is the contributing factor for so many commuters not wanting/be able to upgrade ASAP.
I think the Q.O.L. issue is much more the norm than your lack of ambition and leadership skills comment.
Appeal of a Cadillac a month???? Show me the way. To fit that moniker I would say minimum 45k a month, probably more like 50+. I'll gladly upgrade and fly sh*# schedules for more than triple my current gross. "Vanished", man is that an appropriate word for a lot of these threads on our profession.
