Load of Bul$hit. If he wanted to give back he would retire and leave an open spot for an up-and-comer.
Nothing so altruistic, I'm afraid.
Part financial, part desire to keep flying in a new and challenging area that I've not experienced in my 40+ years of flying.
My children are grown and I've been widowed for 5 years, so I'll have the freedom to relocate and travel.
I do feel there will be a spot for an up-and-comer at my current employer when I retire (along with about 600 others in 2019).
I'm a little over 300 days from retiring, so just trying to explore the feasibility of various post retirement options. That's why I value the opinions of those on this web board.
