I think some of the younger 2014-2016 hires might fit that bill, but I doubt many hired after that would, even if they were hired under 25.
you specifically mentioned pilots hired in 2018-2020 in your previous post. As a 2020 hire, as it stands now, if my DOH had been my 23rd birthday I would not get 15 years as an area code. (It would be about 12)

Funny how you all pick and choose to suit your stance. FB = good, we are all together, happy new things. CC = evil, crazy boomers and bad.
We all have a different lense we look at things thru. The CC group was here long before you created all your little FB groups and subgroups. Just saying.

Why do you have to be so condescending and think all of us are imbeciles?

I'm sure I missed others. Come on guys, you know this movement has been amazing, but we all know it's a matter of time before it stops. To say I'll have a flawless career because of this one hiring wave is pretty dishonest.

A Captain who received a beer or meal years before who then buys a beer or meal for an FO is absolutely “Paying it Forward”, as that FO did nothing for which they are getting “paid back”.
