Flyingtoohigh,
Sure you may meet some folks hired 97-00 that were hired very young that meet that statement, but not very many. Nowadays age 32-36+ is the rule with oodles of real quality experience (read sacrifice). Another thing, with the emphasis on recommendations if you're a bonehead word will get around and you won't get hired.
Don't forget that there are 7000+ highly experienced furloughs figuring out what to do. They planned and worked for about 10 years to get their dream job and now have to regroup. Don't be fooled that getting from A to B is as easy as you think.
You want stress...You're in your late 40's to early 50's and labor groups, including yours, want to make more and it is obvious (apparently only to you) that it will KILL the airline. Management gives themselves golden parachutes and pay the raise. Wait a year or two and wham, Chapter 11. Then what are you going to do, start all over at 30K a year? Ya, that's a great perk.
Tell me, do you see paralegals or legal secretaries going on and on about how the lawyers make so much more than them at work?? Do they go on strike to get their fair share??
I know this is thread creep, but a dose of reality is in order. Too many people don't realize this business is like winning the lottery. Some win, many lose.
