Of course I speak with a broad brush and a whole lot of people were either older than 27 or couldn't compete with all the Vietnam pilots coming back home for a mainline job.
Doesn't change the fact that baby boomers who were raised by the greatest generation of all right after WW2, had a strong middle class to join when they left the nest with tons of jobs promising pensions. They had it much easier than kids today. I am not a millenial, but can see their plight. If they didn't set themself up for a strong career, they are screwed.
