DAL has tons of young pilots with 25-30 years left. They're going to get their turn at a great career too. It's really disappointing how anxious they are to push the old pilots out the door.

Lol, what a bunch of a-holes right? These young millennial snowflakes bastards should be honored to sit on the street for an extra 4 years To get you more money in your pocket. What is this world coming to? No respect for the older generations these days.
I won’t mind:
moving, taking kids out of private school, not going on vacation, downgrading/eliminating car expenses, etc etc.........easy. GFY
