Exactly! Some people just can't let go. Their whole identity is this job and they wear it on their sleeves. They have nothing else going on at home - no life, no hobbies, etc. There are also those who cannot afford to retire, because they screwed up their financial planning for what's supposed to be their golden years.
I don't want to hear the "I still enjoy flying and am fit to continue flying" argument either. Go rent or buy an airplane if you want to keep flying.
Yes, I'm in a foul mood this morning.
