I literally could have been making $150K a year within 3-4 years at the company. Then of course age 65 hit us and...well, you know the rest of the story. Yet our awesome upgrade times had ZERO to do with your career or your airline in general - you were still furloughing at that point. Now, here's my question - shouldn't I be given "consideration" above UAL guys because when I was hired I could have held captain early in my career before being affected by age 65?
