Overall, still 100% agree you cannot judge your career until you have officially retired. How many moves you made, transitioned, furloughed, pink slips, closures, aviation related divorce(s) and obviously not your fault, hmmmm its life. Health is a big one and most judge it by the cash you bring/brought in. Timing of your retirement can flip you as well. Like someone said before - bad today, great tomorrow OR how about now - it was soooo great yesterday and dismal now due to this particular pandemic. And to think this can’t happen again is naive at best looking back at least 50 years. Once again it is choices not only made by you but quite a bit of timing/luck. Aviation is once again cyclic and out of your control which is undeniable. Staying positive is great and do the best you can, but the truth will lie at the end. Wives, girlfriends, family time, schedules, pay, benefits, overall job satisfaction, etc. Whatever it may be, may you have/had a grand time during your flight to the end of days.
