At age 55 they'll be physically broken. Most 55 y/o pilots will be looking at ten more years of $250K+ with 15-18 days off/month. So pilots are willing to put up with it.
I've always thought it would be nice if the aviation field was leveled a bit, ie a little more compensation in the beginning, but a little less later on. Is what it is.
