Sounds like someone I'd like to work with.

Another thing. The pax don't give a crap. They could care less. If they had to choose between a $100 ticket with a 20 year old FO or a $200 ticket and a 40 year old FO. Guess which one wins. They just get on the plane and say, "Oh this is a small plane." So your point doesn't hold up.

And for POPA if I went to college I'd still be there doing something I really don't want to do. I like what I do now so quit with the inquisition.

One of the best ways to save money and stay in shape is to quit drinking. Once again something productive. Mmmm good!
