Most of them weren't around in the early 2000s when FAs were being fired in mass. Based on some of the loud conversations I've heard them have (instead of doing a service) many of them thought the government would continue to guarantee them a paycheck.
As with any large company, there are bad employees at every age group. I recently had an outstanding senior cabin crew BOS-DFW that was infinitely better than the much younger FAs on my DFW MIA leg.
