You don't give a darn about us junior guys who don't have a pension and have stagnated and will never make 747 capt. You are the problem.
You need to chill out man. Carl's senior to you until he decides he's not.

I'd tell Carl to plan on not seeing his pension. That means he needs to stick around for as long as he can. If he does see it, then he's beaten the odds. At the very least, he needs to stick around for the medical, such as it is. It's just good planning. It's nothing personal.

You are right, you will never make 747 Captain. DAL will have codeshared them away long before you are senior enough. You will stroke out long before that worrying about things that you cannot change.
