I seriously think the younger guys, less than 45 or so, underestimate how tired they’re gonna feel when they get older. I sure did.

I’m in good shape, not overweight, eat pretty healthy, and our trips are getting worse and worse. Been here for more than 8 years, and I choose low hour trips, and I get tired. The lines have definitely gotten more and more dense since I’ve been here, and with our regular delays and disruptions, good luck.

I’m doubtful I can do this until 65. For all you guys loving the big money from schedule disruptions, I’d spend some time thinking about whether you’ll be able to do 5 continental or 6 inter island legs, or 7+ hour block days in a 737 without your health falling apart when you’re 60+…
