Honestly, I really don't envision aviation being dominated by the 747 Classic as you seem to believe.
Nobody, least of all me, said any such thing.
Classic pilots, however, are not a "vanishing breed," nor is the use of classics indicative of a poor operator, as you insinuate.
I have no intention of getting into a pissing match, either. To suggest that one ought to bypass classics because they say something untoward about the operator, however, is at best inaccurate.
...a pilot has a far greater chance of employment if they are Typed in the B744 or something more modern than the Classic.
I don't know that I'd agree that a pilot has a greater chance, though certainly one has more options to which one can apply.
