Socal,
Speaking only for myself, at 60 I'd just have to be more creative. Unemployment wouldn't be much of an option unless I wanted to eat Government cheese or were to end up shagged out following a long squawk. Hard to find a six fig job at age 60 in todays economy when all you've done is fly airplanes for 35 years.
No matter how thick my depends, I'll never work for the Waltons.
