What are you doing instead of flying? Do you like it? Any regrets?
21 years AD, one of the few lucky ones that flew up until the end and never really had a desk job. Got out couple years ago just in time before it went full woke. Now fully retired, happily married living in commiefornia. Lived like an O-1 the entire time I was in and continue to do so. House, car, toys all paid off (no my wife is not my sugar momma). Can't even spend half my retirement every month so why bother adding to the pile? Time is more valuable than money at this point in life. Phone never rings, alarms never goes off, not even considering a 6 figure job. Serious first world problems I have. Thought airlines would be cool but realized I hate airports and bag dragging more than I like flying. The vax pretty much put the nail in the coffin for me anyways. Aint gonna get it.
PS: I just lurk here from time to time for the comedic value.
