Default Interesting option for some retired Airline Pilots

Got a call this week from a retired captain who on whim threw out a couple of apps at the urging of his closest buddies...(and probably his wife who was tired of being chased around the house 30 days a month...)

Bottom line is the guy got a call for interviews at an LCC and a Legacy within a month.

As a freight dog--if I had enough money squirreled away to work for a hometown LCC or a legacy that could let momma bounce over to Europe on days the loads were light--I could see the appeal. Not for everyone, and I am not here to debate pros/cons of over 60...but it is an option for some.

Also got pireps the rumors of over 60 guys at SWA re-interview has some validity.So--you may have a 63 year old in the FO seat here in a short while. For a guy who was doing it for fun and/or lifestyle...I could see the appeal.

Anyway--for old you old farts (said with affection) that want to keep playing--you may have an option. I'll keep the details off the boards but if you are interested in learning more send me a PM.
