I guess it depends on how you define old timer - I have 10 years left and
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that scope will define how those 10 years are spent because it determines how much flying Delta airlines has and the only way for my last 10 years to get better is for Delta to expand and get a whole bunch more pilots below me. I can make up the pay (if necessary) - not that I will accept substandard pay - but I can't make up for fewer jobs or little to no advancement. Scope, Scope, Scope and then look at the rest - hopefully I'm not alone.
