I know this is a difficult concept to grasp but WHEN this goes to 67 my plans won’t change at all. You can enjoy going to work at 60 or 65 or 70 but with the times we’re in right now if you aren’t saving a bunch maybe you need to look at the expenses and trim some fat cuz two more years ain’t gonna fix an inability to run a budget. But you can stay cuz everyone else is too if that helps ya sleep at night.
Now, sit there quietly until I call for the Before Push Checklist.

Will you call for the checklist before or after you bore me to tears with how tough it was back in your day? Never mind I already know the answer.

You got hired less than 2 years ago. What are you ... 30something? A LOT will happen in the next 30 years and it won't be all tailwinds.

AirNav23 is a newhire practically? HeShe will have plenty of chances to learn about the ups and downs of this industry. He was emphatic about how the lost decade's negative impact on the pilots that were here aren't his problem. Should I have the same attitude when he is impacted by a future furlough? I'm not like him as I actually do GAF about the JR pilots.
