DAL ALPA is helping fellow union pilots out, it’s appreciated. Some UAL and DAL guys then decided to get into a back and forth on here about it, and it gets conflated to be a NK not being grateful thing. And then you the Mod comes on here and sprinkles a little more “out of context” into the stew.
I literally said all NK pilots are grateful. Stop making it an issue.

15 yrs is too excessive, but at least around 5 years. Jr CA in the company is about 85%, we have 17,500 pilots. That means you have to be in the 14,800 to be JR CA, at 500 retirements a year aprox = 5.25yrs to be 85% seniority. Thats at current numbers without growth/shrink due to economic reasons.

tbh I really don’t see us even having the amount of people in the USA to do a lot of the work that we do.
I live in the eastern PA suburbs and almost every single person doing a landscaping, tree removal, delivery job etc. is from Central America.
Has it not been established that our economy is largely fueled by immigrants doing many of the labor intensive jobs keeping the wheels moving?
Contrast this to Japan, Korea, China, and much of the rest of the western world who, due to very restrictive immigration systems, can’t staff their labor needs to take care of aging populations due to low birth rates.
I think robust immigration from easily integrated developing world populations is our greatest cultural and economic strength.
JMHO.

There’s more people dying than being born in most of the US now. I read somewhere by about 2040 it’s expected that all of the US will be like that with current birth rates. Only way the future U.S population will grow is with immigrants, not Americans. I’m sure AI will decimate middle class jobs too. Interesting times ahead.
