Ah, well that's where you're wrong. (but thanks for replying)
ALPA membership supersedes Delta hiring. ALPA actually tracks this. ALPA membership at previous carriers is a thing and pins are distributed on that basis.
I believe ALPA generally does well by it's pilots. I didn't understand this in the early years.
I'm jealous of the pilots who'll see the 40 year pin, although I'll be long retired and riding on an S3B in the back before I see it. With years of GS/SS/IA pay to boost their retirement earnings. On compound interest.
(If my spectacles even work.)
