I just looked.... and as a 2001 hire I will be able to hold the most Junior Captain position New York 88 (8114ish) in January of 2020. I will be able to hold the most Junior Captain position in my base mid 2023. Over a 31 year career I will be a captain for about 8 years assuming I don't bid captain in NY. If I do bid first Capt position available and commute I will be a captain for about 11 years. Not the career I envisioned.

A 30 year old hired this year will be an MD-88 captain by age 38. That should make all the newbies feel good.......those guys in 00-01 thought the same thing the day they got hired though.

Sure we can. DL pilots played a significant role in both rejecting what would have been a disasterous USAir merger as well as greasing the skids for the incredibly successful by any historical standard NW merger. Some mergers are way more high threat than others and we need to treat them as such not just from day one but long before. There are ways to mitigate high threat relative windfall SLI's from low longevity airlines. AS actually wouldn't be too bad, and could be workable with just a fence, while other scenarios may need a Guadalupe Holdings style approach to protect our careers.
There is a lot we can do about it.

The 00-01 hires win the award for the biggest **** sandwich ever in regards to career progression. I feel for ya.

That being said, if what the head shed is saying is true, we are going to have a hiring spree like 96-01 so if you are hired at the beginning to middle then you will have a pretty good career and fairly quick upgrades.

I would love to hear about 30 year olds getting hired in droves - that would mean we'd all have a shot!

What 30 year old is getting hired at DAL this year? With folks not even getting interviews that have 7-10k worth of hours, 121 experience, and lots of PIC, a 30 year old new hire right now is the outlier. Far from the norm and certainly not where a career progression argument should be focused.
