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
should i show appreciation to the 90s hire a few years ago who went to netjet making $150+ right away (and had it so well he had a tough time leaving) and proceeded to show everyone his $4M mountain cabin, new cirrus and massive lake house all the while bragging about how cheap his kids college costs were? oh yeah, his “game” was to buy the nicest boat he could with every cent of his post 65 earnings as he had nowhere else to put it.
frankly, I feel for those coming after us as there’s little chance it will be as good as for us or the ones before us. yes, even for the 2 year ca wonders.
