I'm just gonna put this here now for historical purposes (right or wrong).

I predict that if (hopefully when) he loses this election he never flies the line regularly again and either:

A) Transitions to some sort of management position (this is the easy answer)

B) Becomes a consultant for somebody and is constantly trotted out as "former pilot union leader" to publicly espouse positions that we are roundly opposed to (think 737 Max)
