I doubt we'll ever have a class like that again unless its part of some MPL academy ab initio flow through program. Every class for a while has been very diverse WRT age and there's no reason that won't continue.

Non issue, but even if it were one, how is the 30 y/o an aggrieved victim as opposed to the 35 y/o (half a decade at the top is a HUGE advantage regardless) when if it were done differently, the 35y/o could be "victimized" to the exact same martyred standards with half a decade LESS to spend at the TOP.

Fake grievance.

Is the higher girth the most or least senior for that date of birth?

I wasn’t saying anyone was martyred or victimized. Obviously, someone ends up low man and someone goes up top. No system is going to change that. I get that. I’m saying age is not an end-all fix and best possible option, bar none. 5 years is not equal to 30. We could go back and forth all day, but in the end it changes nothing.

Difference of opinion, no grievances filed.

I'll take 30 years being 20-30 numbers lower in exchange for an additional 5-25 years at the top all day, any day. Everyone would, for extremely obvious reasons, and that's the point.

There’s no exchange. You can’t trade seniority for time. If you’re old, you’re old.

You win though. I’ll hang my head and shuffle back to my regional forum where I belong.

That's on you then. I like the conversations, debates and exchange of ideas. Just don't go whining in the crew room about how mean DL pilots are to you or whatever because you chose to take something personal that clearly isn't.

FWIW I respect regional pilots and how hard they work and like most DL pilots see that they make great additions to the team.

Apologies for asking in this thread.
