Ok. Now we're getting somewhere. You admit you care not one whit for other pilots, and that it's all about you.

So you would agree that as a super-senior captain, your goals and objectives for doing so are far different, and your risk tolerance much less, than those of someone more junior with a longer career ahead.

Also--is your quest to take care of yourself being conducted as a line pilot, or as a member of management (or future hopes to join management)?
