Listen genius ... if you can manage to arrange for me to receive my retirement at age 54 (that's when I'll have been a Wide-body Capt for 5 years) without a significant deduction to my retirement benefits ... I'll be glad to go away and get out of your way
I've said many times on this forum that I just do not understand why ANYBODY with their retirements maxed out would ever consider sticking around to hub turns at night. I just don't get it!*?
And JJ ... no need to pipe in with, "It's my right to keep working and nobody is going to tell me otherwise!" We all know that's your position, we just think it's a bit pathetic that you don't have anything better to do in retirement.
