There’s plenty of exaggeration on these boards, but one cannot discard the amount of people hired by Delta over the past 5 years, many much younger than your stereotypical applicant in his late 30’s/early 40’s.

As a number of people here say that one hired now can have a great narrowbody captain career at Delta or as a WB FO, it doesn’t stack that well against UAL or AA going forward as they started hiring much later in the game and have way more retirements coming up.

What do you guys think?
