I have to apologize for that part being left out. There was no intent to do so. My last response to you was composed over the course of probably 45 minutes or more as I kept leaving and coming back to it, had to re log in, etc.. I do not recall even seeing that portion at the time. Not sure what happened there.
I agree with it, and had I seen it, could have saved myself alot of time....

Ahh.... Now I see. Glad that's what it was 'cause I was really starting to wonder about myself for missing that entire section...
My apologies as well.

As to whether guys will make it to 65, seems to me if you make it to 60 you can get to 65. Especially since a lot of these guys tend to be in pretty good shape.

The DAL Openboard. Publishes the age of all people that drop off the seniority list. I lopped off everyone that was under 55 and arrived at 62 and 7 months.
If the company can buy people out at 62.5 and make it make financial sense, then they'll continue to do so. They wouldn't be doing it if they didn't think it'd make sense.
I'm pretty sure someone in Crew Resources is smart enough to make a histogram.

And you think after the company spends millions of dollars for the 88 fleet cockpit refresh that they'll park them? This management team is smart. They expect a ROI with everything. The M88s are scheduled to be around a long time. They have the most life left in them out of any fleet at Delta. And who will fly more RJs? They can't hire people to staff them now.

I know exactly what your career has turned into daldude, and I'm one of those fairly senior guys. I pounded this keyboard like a maniac trying to warn guys in your seniority not to bite at this TA. As Bucking Bar so eloquently stated: our ability to perform flying for the Delta brand is our ONLY treasure. And we squandered it in this TA by agreeing to the changes in scope, and the ridiculous claim that we've done something about our JV's and code shares. Couple this with agreeing to further productivity increases, and the stagnation has turned into heavy displacements to lower paying aircraft.
None of our careers will get better until we fight for what is important. And that is our flying of our brand.
