Not sure who is how old on this thread. But, I will own my age. 62 and closing in on the age where the FAA has deemed I am too darn old to fly. Poppycock! (I know better words, but APC won’t let me use them).

It is genuinely about your satisfaction with life. Happy folks live longer. I still look forward to jumping in the jet and seeing a new place. Happens often at K4. I never run, but do walk extensively and lift a few days each week. Not looking to be Rambo, but want to be able to climb the stairs with my bags and not embarrass myself.

I tend to agree with the earlier poster that if the FAA made the mandatory retirement dependent on passing a real physical, old boys like me could keep chugging for a long time past 65. ‘Cuz we like what we do. It isn’t about the $. It is just about enjoying going to work. Enjoying the fun of flying. Isn’t that what got us all in this career in the first place?
