I think he lost years of earnings. Just as guys/gals hired in 2001 and immediately got furloughed did. And I wouldn't limit it to Delta either, that whole generation in the industry that got hired between 2000 and now has a diminished career. Hence, RESTORATION.

So if you got hired after 2007, your career at Delta was not harmed by the bankruptcy?

Guys hired in the early 70s spent 2-3 years throwing bags on the ramp (because DAL didn't furlough) during a downtown.
DAL didn't hire betw 73-77. Guys hired between the late 70s and early 80s spent 5-8 years sitting sideways in a FE position.
Guys hired in the mid to late 80s had a good career advancement wise but also got the whole 5 year B scale that others (including me) did not have to deal with.
Guys hired in the early 90s got to be furloughed for the first time ever in DAL history and those hired in the early 2000s got to experience an even longer one.
My point? Every generation of pilots can claim this or that "diminished expectations."

So we ALL lost something. I think you made my point. The bankruptcy was by far the greatest back waxing in the history of Delta.
Now its time to RESTORE that.
I'll be crowned king whiner and gladly take the tar and feathers so long as we RESTORE the value taken.
P.S. I didn't say diminished expectations, I said diminished career. Perception vs. Fact. If the "young guys" don't have a diminished career, then the elders certainly don't. We are all in this together, trying to divide this group has only one purpose.
