Staying on the theme of service longevity and not wishing to take thread off track I am amazed in general at the service longevity of US flight attendants.
A few days ago I had a conversation with a good friend who is a Euro based trans con purser. We were talking about the possibility of cuts that have been
in the news in September , she felt it was going to be ok as she is in the 7200's out of approx 25000 UA FA's .....and she has 30 years ! so around 30% have
30 or more years (apologies for all the 30's) which surprised me given how many have left the industry for different reasons in the past 10/12 years.

Quite possibly, but who knows given this Covid thing maybe has one or two more cycles to run before medicine wraps its arms around it in terms of therapies and a vaccine it might encourage those who are in the higher risk age groups to think about calling it time.
