Thanks for the info FTB and others. 31 to 57 is quite a spread.
I wonder if that is by design, in that during the big hiring spree from 1985-1991, most classes average age was between 28 to 32, with a much tighter spread of only about plus or minus 5 yrs. from the average.
That is why we see such a huge clump of guys now all around 55-65 in that colored dot chart. That's also why in about 5-10 years a whole bunch of guys (5 years worth of hiring) are all going to be hitting age 65. Maybe the company is trying to get a bigger spread so they don't run into another massive retirement bubble in 20 years?
Now would be a really good time to be hired...
at age 23!
But 57? Had he already retired from Delta?
