You Sir, are the Tool of the Day.
Thank the sky gods you only have one year till retirement.

Retirement should be a sliding scale.
If you’re an a-hole 55 and if you’re a cool dude 75.
Average be 65.
I flew with this 30 year ex-KLM TRI who got red in the face because I talked to the tug driver. He wasn't good at understanding JFK ATC and ordered a push in front of JBLU to which I responded "after JBLU". "YOU DON'T SPEAK TO GROUND YOU SPEAK TO ME UNDERSTOOD!?!". The funny part came 30 seconds later when ATC ordered "dont push deep" and Captain Van Zanten 2.0 orders "push deep" and I intervened again. This time he stared straight ahead with a defeated look on his face
