This is incorrect.
He stated you would retire sub 1000 (which I also believe to be incorrect)
Someone looked up a 32 year old and that was just over 1000
I looked up a 41 year old it was about 4500
Ill let you interpolate between 32 and 45
The number of years since hire for s/n 4500 depends whether united or continental hired them but they are equally irrelevant. Hire to wbca takes the majority of your career and that’s if you are lucky. There’s not any meaningful way to predict how the next couple decades of seniority progression and fleet/route development will go at Braniff vs TWA.
The 4000 people (roughly) hired post covid are going to make for some very weird seniority dynamics and time since hire will not be a useful shorthand for many situations.
