Yes it is, and I will bet you won’t spend the same amount of years at UAL that I have.
The facts are retirees really don’t travel that much in the big picture of pass travel. Back I the day, with the exception of HNL, I rarely ran into retirees traveling on the same flight as I.
Just remember, “what goes around comes around” when you are old (already got the crotchety thing down) and those young whipper snappers want the good seats.
I might add that these days with over 4 decades of service at UAL my wife and I buy tickets because we actually want to get to where we are going. Passes basically aren’t a real benefit anymore.
