Well, apparently you are only 27 yrs old, so your inability to appreciate the bigger career perspective is expected. I assume your 'lots of hot air in the cockpit' comment is speaking for yourself, as is your comment about 'still here'. You and AT will get along famously. Very productive post and btw, the resignations are ramping up and are already far ahead of the long term average, so your statement isn't even correct. Four of my last 6 regional crew are interviewing/and or awaiting course dates. That isn't my imagination.
