I see why you feel the way you do but you cant sell everybody on the bottom out to maximize your position. You already received 5 extra years of flying to recover some lost wages. You will likely never get back 100%, none of us will.
Do you have no kids following in your footsteps or does it make any difference to you what industry/job you will have left behind. At least Carl gets it. Maybe Carl has a kid in the industry...I don't know. Anyway lets just call a spade a spade.....your strategy will cannibalize the rest of the professional even further...the industry under your leadership will simply keep pulling back on the stick, never leveling the wings. As painful as it may be to change directions, someone has got to level the wings, pull back gently and depart this industry death spiral. Its got to start now. No more "we'll get em next time guys".
Do you somehow have to retire at 60 Jack? I think you have those same five years available to you too unless there is some sort of strange time warp that doesn't include you.
And no I have no kids in the business as if that matters anyway. I am the one that wants to put more money in YOUR pocket, not Carl.. you might want to do a little research buddy.. Carl thinks you need to wait until your seniority will allow you to hold the big iron.. I think it shouldn't make any difference... but rant on pal.
You don't get it.
