Exactly. I don't think some ULCC/Major pilots get that. Something like half the current Delta list was hired on or after Jan 2014, and the average age of their newhires was 37. That's a whole lotta young people who were hired first and will always be ahead. Plus with the least amount of widebodies of the big 3, the math just isn't there.
