I don’t care about your pre Delta career anymore than you should care about who got deployed to the the desert in non flying orders in the military prior to coming to Delta. It is irrelevant.
We all made sacrifices and endured hardships prior to Delta - no one should expect the Delta Pilots union to factor anything pre Delta into our current situation.

That’s not the conversation though. The discussion wasn’t about the contract, where I would agree with you.
The discussion was about the general hardships endured and the time it has taken to get to certain upgrades and seniority. And in that, I respectfully disagree, at least in the aggregate. I think it is entirely relevant that many here stagnated at the regionals for nearly a decade at very low pay
, as a direct result of the exact same things.
And I say that as a non-regional military guy with no dog in the fight.
