I'm not anti-IMAX but I want a realistic appraisal of its benefits vs costs. APA is not a trustworthy source. These are the same people who claimed the buckets would act as a leveling system for reserves. Everyone who's been junior on reserve the past year knows that isn't true.

Sick time is a major issue for junior lineholders. Pairing construction limits are a major issue for reserves (they get the trash nobody else wants). OG is very rare which caps reserve income flexibility.

As I stated before this retirement wave is slowing down. New hires today will experience less movement and retire far more junior than those hired closer to the beginning of the wave. That doesn't mean don't come here or it isn't still a good job, but it absolutely means that the 'you'll be senior someday' zeitgeist will come to an end. QoL needs to be increased for all.
