Well sir, no, to be honest that does suck and I am sorry. I have certainly not been in this industry as long as you but it hasn't taken me very long to realize that not everyone gets what they want. Someone always gets screwed. And while I will always support you and the other pilots in your protest to this, I also am reminded that these older guys will not be in the industry forever. Eventually you will along with these other pilots who have gotten sold out will be on top and able to invoke a strong pull in getting that changed hopefully by the next contract negotiations. Until then, the little guy always gets stepped on. Is it fair? Hello no but it is the aviation industry. I don't approve of it or welcome it at all but I have accepted the fact that it happens.
