For anybody under 40 that wants an airline career track, it is a much faster path to the front seat of an airliner than languishing in the right seat at NJA for who-knows-how-long Good for the youngsters, rearview mirror for old farts like me.

I couldn't agree more. My wife is a new hire mentor at AA. I know for a fact that the only folks getting to AA are MIL, Flow, and single digit interns / protected classes.

This is the beauty about the airline industry. The future is predictable and completely measurable and quantifiable. Of course the economy will take a crap again, and of course that will change hiring. But retirements aren’t changing, even if the airlines cut hiring in half, retirements are coming no matter what. Age 67 for the airlines isn’t even on the horizon yet, and it probably won’t be.

United could take every pilot in the Airforce by its self in the next 10 years on retirements alone.

I understand you wrote more than this in your post, but really? How could anyone take you seriously after a preface like that?

Certainly not economically.

The 1500 rule was already challenged and defeated once so ACE doesn't have a lot of traction right now.
