Having retired early, while my wife is still working, seems less about doing fun things, and more about sitting around with my thumb up my butt. If I could fly 8 or so days per month on the west coast, I'd consider doing it, but the conditions would have to be right.
I could be totally wrong, but I don't think we have any part time pilots right now. That policy was something that came about during Covid when the flying was greatly reduced. The only pilots that aren't working 85+ hours a month are senior in their domicile and seat.
