Im a 2001 hire, good chance Im going to be junior for at least the next 4-5 years. I will be a junior fo (with furlough) as a 12-13 year employee. Point being it would have been nice to have the retirements sooner instead of later.
But hey, I've got buds at UAL who are getting furloughed for the 2nd time. Things could be worse.
Hopefully, the rumors of hiring will materialize and we all will have movement in the next couple of years.
Well at least you made it to DAL. This age 65 rule change has really messed up those of us still stuck at regionals. The hiring projections at majors looked really good right up until the FAA changed the age 60 rule with the full support of our great ALPA.
