yep exactly.

Thought older people were all about accountability for ones actions and choices and the choices he made defined his career path with some unlucky breaks along the way. But it was his choice to join the military( certainly wasn't drafted), his choice to stay in as long as he did, etc. And because his choices led to his timing into this industry being bad, he is entitled to an age change where the first age change further screwed him?

But I still find his reasoning easier to accept than the 3rd divorcee and secret family in Buenos Aires 777 CA whining for the age change. I can at least empathize for the career the former military pilot had. No empathy for the 3rd time divorced captain, married to number 4 with a secret family in Buenos Aires having it tough and can't afford to retire.
