This is all barring the next black swan event, age 67 etc. While I know captain is the goal for everyone, senior widebody reserve is amazing. What’s interesting tho is a lot of people ask about widebody and then they go do it and hate it or have rest issues.

Gen X have been sitting our entire lives, watching them through the 80’s 90’s and 2000’s voting ever greater govt benefits and govt debt, while waiting for their huge numbers to retire so we could finally have a shot… and here they are trying to move the goal posts yet again.
Millennials and Gen X are in the same boat, we’ve just been waiting longer and had a front row seat.
That’s some serious mental gymnastics blaming the new guys for just trying to survive in the world they inherited vs the ones who built it, and are once again trying to rewrite it in their favor at the expense of others.

Ideas that pit generations against one another are designed to discredit entire social value systems rather than address any real issues of greed, choices, etc.
The reality is this. Any generation or group of people is going to generally behave in a way that 1.) Maximizes their success and 2.) Ensures their personal and familial security.
Us GenX’rs and Millennials, presented with the same systemic and environmental challenges, would have behaved identically.
To think otherwise is naive and dishonest. What the idea that boomers are somehow uniquely responsible for millennials and x’rs fiscal setbacks really does for my and younger generations is to provide a scapegoat for poor decisions, make it okay to not have accountability for your actions.
Every generations’ challenges, environments, and systems are unique, each generation does and did the best they could. No one should blame anyone, and the real argument about 67 is cognitive decline, not greed.

Junior pilots are making easily 6 figures after year one and upgrading in one year to boot and seeing record movement. Hope they can "survive" junior guys never having it better in the history of aviation. Try $30/hr with no health insurance and 10-15 year upgrades then maybe we can talk about surviving.

Nope....thanks for playing. But you can afford some toys with your quick upgrade, or even your fat FO pay we negotiated for you. You're welcome

Ok, TEN plus years later and you’re still talking about this…so let’s talk about it.
LUAL UNEMPLOYED pilots were given a WINDFALL with the SLI. Never had furloughed pilots been placed ahead of active, never furloughed pilots until the CAL/UAL merger. Many LCAL pilots had HUNDREDS of UNEMPLOYED pilots placed above them over night. People who were UNEMPLOYED became line holding pilots overnight at the expense of never furloughed LCAL pilots. LUAL UNEMPLOYED pilots had ALL of their longevity counted while the bottom 1/3 of the CAL list did NOT.
LUAL ALPA actually did a FANTASTIC job. Brucia rightly went into hiding after the award because he should be ashamed of himself.
To say that a pilot who was unemployed had any right to be placed above a pilot that was currently employed was and is the height of arrogance.
