Allegedly a number of senior folk were very quickly onto the union demanding to immediately exercise their right to displace folks junior to them onto a jet (i.e. The one that will return to international flying first) that over the last last 30+years they would classify in a derogatory manner as "just a light twin." a pity they don't understand the award.
Also a pity that during their 40 year career, probably 30 as a captain, they didn't have the financial smarts to put themselves into a position to retire by their 60s. Considering that during that time the retirement age changed multiple times in their favour and gave them years of extra earnings.
And yet, when holding court with a literally captive audience, they will continually use the phrase 'snouts in the trough' when referring to management.
