Says it all really.

I'm alright Jack.

From the pilot perspective, most of these fossils benefitted in the past from a mandatory retirement age which created movement. Now they can fly until they die in the seat.

Now in a shrinking airline we are facing the very real possibility of forced redundancies among the junior guys while the fossils continue flying way past their use by dates.

While the company is expanding you could argue that everyone will be senior one day. Presently this argument is frankly rubbish.
