No, T is a senior pilot who is stuck in the old way of thinking. That is, you maximize earning at the end of your career to pad you nest egg. Since, it didn't matter what happened as long as you got a seniority number and your company didn't go TU, you won the lottery. Such is not the case these days, and if you want to come close to matching his career earnings, you will probably have to get hired at Delta by age 25 at the latest.
