Sure; the 2000s hires endured tough times. Where are they now? Cashing out 350k+ a year flying whatever captain seat they want and will do so for many years. The career outlooks for people coming up now are simultaneously better (more initial options, more ULCC/LCC movement) and worse (top end career will be completely walled off by the 1000s of 25 year olds hired) than those who came up in the 2000s and late 90s.

You guys will shake your fists at us for pointing this out, but it's undeniably true and in about 20 years time this will show. Mark my words.
I started at a legacy at 40 years old, probably will not see WB CA on my career… You will be fine at 30….

Starting to sound like a familiar poster on Reddit I’ve seen…..

You have guys here with experience trying to provide you solid device to continue to move on. There’s plenty of information that supports the position even tells you, it’s a no brained to move on…..

Stop worrying about whose ahead of you on the seniority list and focus on getting yourself on it then roll with the punches as they come…..

Geez Luiz my man….
