1. Never Been Furloughed from UPS
2. Captain most of their career
3. Extra 5 years to pad income/retirement
Yes, we are aware and most will validate your reasons. However, the division of seniority groups should not be the issue or the topic du jour.
At some point the chest-beating of "who has it worse" and "who has paid the most dues" should be replaced with "how corporate greed has weakened our profession and job security" and "what should our legal response be to protect our livelihoods".
In the end, the senior group needs the junior group and the junior group needs the senior group. Their common enemy is the same.
