Going to school on the Airbus is going to weigh on their minds.
I wouldn't want to do it if I was 63 years old. Some will, some won't.
Or they could go to school on the smaller Boeings but that would mean changing bases. I wouldn't want to go to
any long course school that close to retirement. What a pain.
