You can say that again. What does it matter if we are DYING at 55? Or if we're lucky, living beyond that and dying 14-15 years earlier than the average American?
Though I suppose one could argue that if we had a much higher hourly pay rate, then we could drop more trips. Work less=live longer. But it's not in most pilot's DNA to work less. Though I am enjoying the summer, and working on my longevity.
