The problem is, no-one joining in the last 20 years has had, or will have, the opportunity to structure their career as today's senior LH captains have. The advice given is utterly irrelevant to those who are S/Os in today's airline unless, perhaps, they are brand new joiners in their 20s and without a partner and kids settled in jobs/ school.
