Their peers that went ( 100 something XJ guys/gals) will retire far better off than these guys/gals ever will. interesting stuff.
Some didn’t want to go fly the DC9 and were happy in Avro land. Those were different times. But yes lots of them watched their peers move on and some want a piece of that pie now.
