TSi - Let me refer to you as junior - as you are clearly immature - the facts are simple - you intimate you were happy to snap a 49er's job.
Junior - there will always be fools like you around, decent pilots simply have to put up with it.
However, the education from '89 is not as you wish to portray, inaccurate as usual from then likes of you, but simply that pilots who stick together make managements take notice.
That is why managments try, and sometimes succeed, to fragment pilots into individuals like you, who rush in for the quick return, without a care for the big picture meaning the future of the profession.
Until you realise that, then you will always remain immature.
Grow up junior.
