Well someone with 30 years at Delta can generally hold any CA seat and depending on the equipment might well hold the exact sam trips for 30% more pay. There are a few like that at Delta. The majority failed upgrade and returned to the FO seat. If I were a FO I would feel that a 30 year pilot might not fully represent my issues and wants. I would probably want someone more representative of the demographic. On the other hand she might be a fantastic rep and gets elected with a 90%. It just comes off a bit odd.
