Agree Hoss.
If my memory serves me (it is hit and miss), most of the mid to late 90's civilian hires at UAL had well north of 5000 hours. I don't know what the average was but I bet it was above 7000 or 8000. Flying cancelled checks, cargo, corporate, flight instructing. Many did all of the above.
The lower time guys were like me, ex-mil. We all averaged early to mid 30's and by the late 90's they hired a fair number of 45-55 year old mil retirees.
My class was 50/50 civ/military at the end of 95.

Whatever the case may be, calling the new hires entitled because they don't **** and moan about the guppy is pretty off. And then implying (incorrectly) that these new hires are young and barely out of school is just ridiculous.
On the contrary, I'd say that non-stop b____ing about yokes and tray tables is pretty entitled. The airplane is a hot seller for a reason. I get it, you don't like the plane. That's OK. I'm not crazy about it either.

Crew resources put out a notice mentioning no chance of 767-400 flying so maybe that and the brutal 7 hour redeye home every trip or at least 70% caused them to re-think it.
