Age and seniority is not and never was the problem. De-regulation caused all of the problems associated with the industry today. That and the willingness of pilots to buy a specious political argument. When pilots crossed PATCO,s line in 1981, that was pretty much the fat lady singing.

Then I have seen some of the old crusties marry the young thing. 30+ years difference. Not sure how that happens but it does.

Perhaps because the women prefer maturity.

Oof. Isn't there some sort of rule-of-thumb, like half your age plus ____?

Thirty years, give that dude some earplugs . . . . followed by a good lawyer. :laugh:

I didn't cross the PATCO line. I got furloughed!

And the crusty marrying half his age is looking for his lost youth, she is looking for a meal ticket. Better to get a good one first time around and accept that you both are going to age. Well, at least it is less expensive.
