I'm 27 so I don't think I fall into the category of gramps. I did 4 years at an airline and the last two doing corporate and I will be the first to tell there is much more to learn. A little humility and respect can go a long way for someone like yourself. I don't define a good career as flying a 777 like you do, but maybe you are just trying to compensate for something. I will also take my working 1-2 days a week and 1-2 overnights a month over your schedule any day. But I'm sure you already know all of this since you are so smart and all knowing.
