Who should we feel more sorry for, the guy with 3 kids and a mortgage, or the guy with 3 x-wives and a new Porche

You beat me to it. Well said.

Potentially, you are going to have Captain’s going the right seat for a year or longer, and many on the street for the next year or so. The lost earnings “could” be regained by allowing future pilots to say a few more years at the top end of the pay scale.
are you serious? The guys that are not going to get furloughed get to stay longer and keep the younger furloughees from coming back sooner? There is so much wrong with this I would get a ding if let my feelings out. No no no no

....but, but, but you young guys will have a 30 year career with 15% annual stock market gains and never see a downturn. We are more stable than a public utility, Wall Street says so. Investment grade...

Best troll post of the decade. You even got a poll going. Please consider a new username of TrollPoll. I'm guessing you have an ex wife for every type rating on your license. Could we get that poll going?
