If the rule is changed, I'll gladly go back to a window seat, if not, I'll gladly stay where I am until I get bored doing the job. Then I'll retire. But it's not up to an Ahole like you to tell me when I should retire or not. Frankly I'm sick of you guys always saying that the older guys want it all, because you guys are exactly the same. You don't want to sit in a seat for more than a few months, because you think that the airline owes you a left seat, and you want it now.

For the record, the rule was stupid when it was first pushed through and it's stupid now. What I don't understand is why you think that eliminating this rule, while at the same time, not allowing children to drink, drive, vote, enter into a legal contract, get married (legally), join the military, and any other number of things has anything whatsoever to do with each other. Sort of like comparing apples and oranges.
