This is where I duck, but those pilots with the double no at somepoint will get hired somewhere (spirit, jetblue, walmartAir, whatever) so delta is saying that in a complete refresh of their seniority list they can't trust a guy with 20yrs experience as a lifelong fo or a junior captain that would be "hired" years from now? That's a fairly stupid statement.
It's unpopular to say in a Delta jumpseat, but every pilot working here or any regional today will have an opportunity to interview and be hired somewhere else. Eh. That's just the math.
Furthermore, it's likely 5 or 8 years from now Delta may call you up and see if United is a good fit, "maybe ya'oughta come down ta Atlanta and see what we're 'bout."
