And George, you've bragged many times on this board about how well your investiments have done. So why fly past 60 anyway? Your family wouldn't like to spend more time with you? You have no hobbies?

Here is the part of the over 60 arguement that I just don't understand, especially for the guys that have their 25 years of employment time. How much would the company pay you to retire at 60? How much will they pay you to be a 727 s/o (the DC-10's will be gone soon)? Subtract the difference ... that's what you are really working for. Is it really worth being awake all night for the small difference? It's not to me.

Get a hobby, volunteer at the local nursing home, teach a class at the local community college, garden, fish ... get a life and enjoy your retirement! You really don't want to be a 727 s/o do you George?
