I ain't "taking" away anything--just giving the Memphis reserve boys a chance to chase their wives around the house unmolested.
And I don't pick up DPs. Ever.
As much as I may disagree with you v. "Age 60", this time you've got it exactly right. As long as there is no job action in progress, there's nothing at all wrong with it (exception: the DPs you mentioned). Hell, I've still got hours in my MUB from when I was a 727 FO. Besides, if I chase my wife around too long, unmolested, She's buggin' the ******* outta' me to take a trip!
