Nope. He got voted off the island earlier this year.

Good riddance! There's some good news.

I just looked at the seniority calculator. It's depressing. In 5 years. I'll be about 11,100 (after 9 years at company). I'm looking at about a 17-18 year upgrade. My captain seems older so I asked him when he's going to retire. He said "about 2 years." I just looked up his name. He's 63. At least he's honest.

Who are we kidding about upward mobility at Delta?

I have 10 years at Delta with 11 to go and I truly doubt I will sit in the left seat before I retire (I Don't consider NYC M88A a viable reason to move to the left seat just to say I sat there). I expect to be a career F/O without even a decent chance at Widebody F/O with decent seniority.

Just my 2 cents.

You're young like me, hockey... we're going to have a very long time being very senior.

Me too DAL73n, but we're "damn good FO's," just keep telling yourself that.:D

I hope you're right. I'm not getting any younger. I'm not even in my 20's any more.

Heyas Hockey,

Time is on your side.

After 13 years, I'm not even in the 8000's, and I was hired "young" at 29.

I don't even hit the 50th percentile until well into my 50s. And that's assuming BEST case...no more shrinkage, and some guys go at 63 vs 65.

If you got hired at 25, a 18 year upgrade is 43, which is still pretty darn good.

Nu

Not in my 20's anymore either... haven't figured out the how to get younger thing either... let me know if you figure that out. Then again, you won't have to rely on this job anymore either if you get that one nailed down. ;)

New,

I went from the 9 to the 88. The seat is slightly, but only slightly, better. It's a little more adjustable in different places and has a lumbar support instead of that ever inflating infernal airbag. But...the seat still hurts in all the same places, only less.
