I may or may not fly past 60, but it will have nothing to do with money. When it's no longer fun, I will quit and what I have in the bank is what I have. My happiness is in my heart and is not controlled by my employer. Never has been... never will.
You misunderstood my point. I realize many of us still love flying while for some it's become a routine...
My reply was a response to the previous kool-aid drinker who honestly believes SWA pilots are staying past 60 for different reasons than pilots at other airlines... We all might be working for different airlines however, I don't believe SWA pilots stay past 60 mainly because they love flying (and their company) while other pilots stay because they "have to." I simply don't buy that...
