I agree with you there.

But look at the here and in now, what the little jets are doing will have trickle down for the same peirod of time that you said.

What does compensation look like if it the industry decides to put you in furlough for a couple of years vs. flying for a regional in the top 15% and making money and flying a chunk of time every month.

How many furloughs can you take in that thirty year window before you saw that you could have broke even at something that was not mainline.

I am not saying that I want to spend my life in the regionals either. I would like to move on and I feel that I got nearly the same window that you do being that I am 27 now.

Another thought, I dont know if the industry will change a great deal from now if the mainlines keep filing for bankruptcy protection and not getting liquidated by their creditors. I think too sends a bitter message.

I am not trying to start a fight, just speaking out loud, and feel free to show where I am wrong, then I can learn more.
