That is interesting, and it's kind of like the parent child relationship. You want so badly to have your kids learn from your life so they don't make mistakes. But mostly, they don't listen. Old farts like me tried to tell you guys not to fall into the shiney jet syndrome...you didn't listen. Now you "implore everyone" not to fall into it...and they won't listen. Rinse, lather, repeat.

You will understand real pain if we cave again on scope, and you are furloughed. Where will you go?...that's right - the bottom of the seniority list at a regional. That's when you'll really understand.
