That is why we see such a huge clump of guys now all around 55-65 in that colored dot chart. That's also why in about 5-10 years a whole bunch of guys (5 years worth of hiring) are all going to be hitting age 65. Maybe the company is trying to get a bigger spread so they don't run into another massive retirement bubble in 20 years?
Now would be a really good time to be hired...
at age 23!
But 57? Had he already retired from Delta?

There is a DTW 777 A that sits in top 500, hired at 23, only 52 now, 13 more years to go to hit a 42 year career.
Impressive.
