I'm not a boomer, and won't need the money. I'm agnostic on this thing but I don't think there's much we can do about it at this point anyway. Pols may not know much about aviation but, like everybody else, they do know people who are 65, and 67, and most of them still work especially in white collar. They just don't see the catastrophic drop in cog performance in the 60s. They see right through the self-serving position of most pilot groups, and so they don't really take us seriously on the topic.

But I am thankful that I mostly enjoy what I do (it's a job after all, I don't expect it to be a complete vacation). I kind of feel bad for someone trapped in the airline industry who actually doesn't like it. Or is that just hip posturing on the part of youth?
