While I express my sincerest gratitude toward the companies hiring NK refugees (I really do), the burning question that keeps me awake at night is what is going to be the next big event that holds all of us down for another ten years?

Starting over at a legacy and riding the seniority wave fueled by retirements sounds great on paper, but in reality there is always another monster waiting to rear it's ugly head, like AI as an example. Anyone under 40 (that includes me) is extremely naive if they don't see the dramatic reduction in pilot staffing requirements coming later on in our careers.
