Yeah, the thing I keep thinking when I see the 90’s hires bring up their very real struggles/pain is that the way it’s brought up and talked about is often (not always) not to educate/warn, or even to just seek legit sympathy. Not saying this is you Buck. It’s so often comes across as a “you guys owe me” mentality. “Make me whole”. It may not be meant that way, but that’s how it comes across a lot. And that is universally counter-productive to their goals. Just like Post-Covid hires don’t owe anything to the UNA’s, it’s not the role of the following generations to bear the cost of what you went through instead of you. Nope. Especially given the uncertainty this industry will always have.

However, there is an attitude that will make the masses want to help in some smaller ways. That will get that following generation to step up and share the load to a degree. To show appreciation for the heavy lifting/struggles of the prior generation. But the few who have that helpful attitude often get drown out by the loud, angry voices. Look at what happened at FedEx with their failed TA and the aftermath. QED
