All of those bad things can still happen to this generation and is actually one of the biggest reasons to keep it as is. Many of the proponents like to talk about how great everyone's career is now because we had a few guys who made 757 Captain at year two (never mind that their generation had similar stories). Heck, I've flown with guys who made WB CA in their 30s, something almost none of us will ever see. I think NWA even had 747 Captains in the early/mid 30s. Truth is, they have absolutely no idea what black swan is around the next corner and how it will impact our industry and careers. So to say delaying things now is going to be good for us becuase we'll get two years on the back end, is a bit ridiculous. Money now is going to have a much great impact than a few more years on the back end, and that's IF we are even still medical able. And with potentially increased medicals, we could put guys out on medical for things these guys flew with their entire career.
