Sorry, but I think that the only greedy punk around here is you. You're willing to go all the way to India just for a few bucks. Don't kid yourself, you're only doing this for the money. It would have been much easier to rent or flight instruct here in the U.S. if you were just in it for the love of flying.
Dear PB,
After such a long and fruitful career I don't think he needs the money. What you have to realize is that after a full career of being a globe hopping pilot guys who are nearing 60 normally have no home, friends, family or hobbies left to retire to.
Sometimes the only people who are left are subordinates held hostage by the job. For those who have chosen this path the best that could happen is to pass away in the saddle and skip the years of lonesome silence while living as a stranger at some sterile retirement community.
