Can you expound on this?

Unlike times past when a generational replacement was primarily with similar age (young) pilots....The age spread among pilots joining the majors is going to provide even the last one aboard some movement.

Even the long term plug at a major or ulcc has a considerably bright economic earnings forecast. The qol could be better....but it would still be a job that puts one near the top of wage earners. And in most cases provide genuine and secure retirement savings growth.

The game requires a very large ante, so the trick is to join it early enough, and stay long enough, that you are playing with the House’s money.
It stops working if you go bust.......or the House goes bust. 😩

I never would have made it on a riverboat..........

It doesn’t have to be deadly to be disruptive to the economy. If factories and plants have to close due to quarantines or sick workers that will disrupt supply chains. Those workers aren’t pulling in paychecks so they, in turn, spend less.

I get the sense that this time, in light of the lessons learned with SARs, governments will try to balance safety and the economy. An economic collapse is also bad for safety and public health, it's just not as immediate and obvious as the media reporting on an epidemic. Both Trump and Xi have (existential) motivation to not kill the global economy.

There should be a secondary and smaller wave after 2025, just not at the Legacies. Places like Southwest and some of the other Majors that currently have a younger pilot group. Subject to change with any merger activity.

Hell yes!!!

Wow Tired Soul, that’s low quality stuff. Swift doesn’t pay much huh?
