It also seems that they also hire military pilots who are near 40 years of age and older. I am noticing that many of the older captains that I fly with are not as motivated to leave owing to kids and other priorities which consume their time. Meanwhile the younger regional workforce on a whole seems much more eager to leave.... Not a single one of them whom I have encountered wants to stay at my regional. Also I am not sure where on the app that it even has a place for age.... How would DAL even know how old we are?
