Chuck Yeager wasn't a Delta Pilot though, so even he doesn't qualify.

A 40 year career would be lucrative here sure. But I couldn’t do this job for 40 years.

Also, I was management for many years. It's totally acceptable and not frowned on. Just be polite and non confrontational.
Show us on this scatterplot the pilot(s) that are either half your age and/or 1/32th your experience:

Also worth mentioning, all points in this chart were experienced pilots from many backgrounds before being hired at Delta.
