Age has nothing to do with it! So what your saying is, because you are younger, you have time! They didn't make the career decision for the folks at UAL. They chose a different path, and you feel they should be punished for that? See NS's testimony of 'A tale of two pilots". My mediator friend says that is a very difficult situation for the arbitrators to overlook, it's likely they won't!
