Quick command ..
...most of the guys here who are 55 or thereabouts took 10 yrs + to command,unless they were trampling over seniority like those f@cktards of the NTSB or ASL.
And it's been anything but fair share..ask a fairly senior guy on the freighter fleet how fairshare is working out . Even in the dying days of the jumbo pax operation, the last 3 or 4 years of decent trips were monopolized by the same 10 or 15 individual captains on super compact rosters..fairshare my arse...
