Jeff -
When I was in training as a new hire (10 months ago) there was a former USAir captain who’d just gotten off probation and who was switching from DC8 FE position to B75/76 FO slot. He was just a tad over 50 and spent more than 24 years at USair (might have been the same person 767pilot flew with), he was not furloughed - he resigned. He said his only regret was to have waited this long - one morning he was reading a paper during our break and all of a sudden he said: wow, oil went up $3.00/barrel last night and y’all know what? I just don’t care, doesn’t affect me anymore! Then he smiled and threw the paper away. Don’t know, maybe he was simplifying things a tad but he seem very content with his life, really cool guy.
