But I know a lot of ex airline pilots that still live active and healthy lives after retirement.

Not a Brown dude.
But, yes, I flew cargo at an MD11/MD10 purple tail rival.
flame away purple dudes….
QOL is a huge consideration. I had a class date from UPS same month as United and declined. If I went brown my plan was to get in, make as much money as possible and get out. 55-60 years max before retiring seems like the play over there for sure.
