I'm well above thirty and been in the airlines over 15 yrs. I enjoy time at home, and I love my job. But I don't want to work until I die.
And no one orders anyone to give up something they love. Mandatory retirement has been here for the ages. We all knew it was there the first day we flew.
If I want to get my rocks of flying, I can do it on my own time in a J-3 or 8KAB. That's a heck of lot more fun than flying 180+ angry passengers around.
