Not sure that I'd call it good news, but your post certainly makes me see why it's welcome news to some. You're taking a snapshot of 24 months, give or take, and acting like that is the norm. Guess what? The majority of the members here went through what you're going through - many WAY more difficult. So yeah, you won't find much sympathy while whining that you weren't a miracle baby. Read the room, know your audience, etc. Possibly those that have been in the left seat as long as the miracle babies have been alive look forward to flying with guys with a smidge of experience again🤷♂️
