Not sure what we are doing next year, but I seem to vividly remember not being able to do these things when I was commuting to eternal weekend reserve. Upgrade will be tempting, but it can wait. I just wish someone would tell me when the next black swan event is coming so I can plan for it.
Guy I flew with today told me they’re going to go to age 68, but over 65s will only be able to fly 80% of FAR 117 block limits. So there’s another one for the rumor mill that might qualify as a black swan for some.
