Well you said might, but if Delta stagnated like United is now the junior CA at Delta would be 5 years on property the junior CA at United would be 13 years on property. I don’t think Delta was hiring in 2003 so you’re probably off a couple of years. If the industry goes through enough turmoil to shift CA’s at Delta to 15 years as you say, the doors will be shutting at United. Any way you rack and stack the numbers United is a poorly managed airline, and that along with demographics has resulted in stagnant seniority list. If I was in new hire class or even finishing up year one at United and Delta called I’d bail in a heartbeat, and I live in a United Hub.
