JJ,
I think it's a bit sad (pathetic actually) that these over 60 guys (that could be collecting a VERY GOOD retirement!) have no identity or self worth outside of their aviation life.
Geez ... get a hobby, golf, fishing, gardening, restoring an old car or airplane, take some college classes, volunteer at the local homeless shelter, coach a kids little league team ... you get the idea. There are TONS of ways to contribute to the community that might give you a sense of fulfillment and make you glad you have a really good retirement program.
But, I wouldn't expect someone with a different viewpoint to understand stuff like that? Best to you too ...
Mark
PS ... JJ, Please PM me your personal information. I'd like to take out a life insurance policy on you so that maybe I can retire BEFORE age 60. This working nonsense is really starting to interfere with my time off. Thanks
