I have a close friend (pilot) who "retired" at 60. After surviving the ups and downs of this industry, he still would enjoy showing up for work. To me he's not that old. We work out together at the gym. I'm looking at him thinking if that was me, I would like the option to fly longer.

So many of the pilots in this forum complain about this industry. I don't; he doesn't. I feel this is what we need to keep up front. Let the FA's complain about how they're getting duped. We can shut the door on them.

Remember how bad you wanted to be here!!!

I do...everyday!!
