Lost their jobs at TWA or elsewhere. Stuck in the dead zone. Been through bankruptcy. Now they have kids in college and are still trying to figure out how to recover from financial loss, pay for college and fund a retirement. I don't expect anyone hired prior to 2007 to have any sympathy for me. I'm happy these guys have till 65 to make up for some of the losses. They need the time. When us junior folks complain, try to think about the misfortunes of the rest of the seniority list. Now, about this fiscal cliff...
