I was a lear captain at 23 and that was during very robust times. Hired at some great companies and a legacy etc etc. Now almost 40 3rd 121 looking at a furlough and homeless. There are pilots from my generation who did not get turbine time till almost 7 years after I was a lear captain and now they are average seniority captains at SWA. Go figure......LUCK is what counts,,,not even timing......!!!!!!!!!
