Re: Generation Y
Its all happening for Generation Y
There's more of us filtering up the ladder, and you're going to have to deal with it. So are operators. And they are.
FACT: We wont have spent the years that you Boomers/GenX guys have to get this far. But that doesnt make us bad. Or bad pilots. Alot of us still did time up north etc, just spent considerably less time in it! And if you were in the same position, wouldnt you be doing the same?
You should be happy that times are this good, and pass on your wealth of experience we do not have so that we may keep the status quo older generations have maintained. Lets hope the wealth of experience isnt going to disappear overseas or out of regional turboprop operators due to the current movement so that this may occur.
While some are looking to retire in the next decade, its the GenY that have a good 30-40 years left in the industry. We need to learn from all the industrial problems that existed in the past (89, low pay etc) and make sure we have a good industry to have a career in.
