I disagree. That new hire is probably working with a tough schedule, low pay, family, and ?????????? The new hire is also a current employee. The retired person, is just that retired. My parents are both retired and have all the time in the world to happily sit in an airport, reading books and sipping coffee. Maybe my parents are in a better position because they retired making over 200k a year and have pensions. Maybe that skews my opinion, but that's how I see it.
The retired person, while retired from US Airways, may not be living the golf course life style. He/she is likely to be working at another job, no different than the new hire with the company. CWA did grieve the status change and lost.
