Get used to it. This is the way it is. People are flying because they want to and are getting hired. The current state of affairs will not change so you can have your heavy metal job. Nobody is doing anything anyone else wouldn't do if they were in the new guy's shoes...including yourself.
This is not the new wave's fault. You're out of your mind if you think the new guys should just step down and stop wanting to fly because it will hinder your career advancement.

Enjoy your ride. If you make it to a major, you'll be the angry low paid b-scaler doing most of the complaining. If you never do and end up a 90-seat RJ captain getting crapped on for 70K a year, then you'll finally get it.

figure it out.
