Maybe the boomers notice the vapid look on one’s face and see a pasty, soft, weakling who couldn’t change a tire, build a shed or cook a meal and loose respect.
People loose faith in younger people because they look for others to do their work, play victim or are satisfied with poor results.
I’m no boomer and I see it.
You can’t work smart if you don’t know how to work hard.

And some of them aren't wrong.
The work ethic of this younger generation is not entirely something to be proud of, but I also like, to a point, their desire to balance work/life. The US gets less vacation time than most of the industrialized world, and unfortunately we don't even use all that we get, on average. Which is pathetic.

If you were a junior lineholder, would you stick around to see what's what, out of a desire to stay in base flying day trips, or punch out first opportunity?

Youre asking would I rather be the bottom of a legacy airline or almost the bottom of a ULCC with uncertainty. Based on that, obvious answer. But who knows other considerations for you, base, long term plans etc.

This collective work life balance crap is what will be our downfall.

Working more and less vacation is how we maintained being #1 in the world. Somewhere in China there are young people working 18hrs a day 7 days a week with the sole goal of out working and beating America.

Just out of curiosity, isn’t one of the requirements for the merger to go through that Spirit be in the black or profitable? Posted an article from September below for reference.
If Spirit has not been profitable since 2019, I was just wondering how this would play out. My guess is that JetBlue will still want us for our pilots and aircraft, but that is just a guess and why I’m asking on here.
