...so they can take jobs at Southern, Atlas, Kallita, Tradewinds, Focus, Polar, etc. that furloughed guys out there REALLY NEED.

If a guy is taking a job at one of those carriers it's because he needs to. What could possibly be wrong with an older pilot who has just lost most of his retirement, trying to earn a living? How incredibily self serving is it that a younger pilot (who has plenty of time to save for a retirement that doesn't depend on the financial health of an airline) thinks the more expierienced guy shouldn't be there?

Exactly! I am not sure where we going with this concept that the older, what ever that means, pilot should step aside and let the younger guys step up without so much as a whimper. Maybe I am just to old to get it!

Currently there are only 281 Delta pilots with over 20 years of service. Approximately half of the Delta pilots have less than 10 years service. Those are unbelievable numbers for this pilot group. quote]

Whoops...back to the 15 year upgrades...
