Oddly enough, Gen-X probably makes up A LOT of the pilots that dealt with the ENTIRE dark decade (and a half for the most part).

True, genx hasn’t gotten any press since MTV was a thing.
Knock millennials all you want, but they spend the most on travel of any age group, they will be key to our industry’s return.

Gen-X were raised by people who grew up in the depression and/or WW-II.

Look at the previous post, or any other source that gives dates/bookends for definitions. Gen-X could be raised by someone that DIDNT grow up in WW-II, jist simply born then.

Well, sort of. But its not a “one size fits all”.

Industry that cannot be expected stave off economic resets for any longer than measly 10 years at best? That doesn't sound like a particularly compatible nature with the semantic definition of a career. That sounds like a gig to me. Just being rhetorical here for the sake of introspection and further discussion, not admonishing people's choices in life.
