Quite right. The scarcity of jobs has increased the competition for each job and thus the Lord of the Flies mentality of the Gen Xers.

Hey kids, I've got a question for you. Did you get all exercised about guys being hired with 200 hours and a commercial? They are a bigger threat to your perceived right to a rapid upgrade to wide body captain than the over 60 crowd.

Who is more greedy, one who wants to keep what he has, or the one who wants to take what is not his for himself?
