That movie remind me nothing of the successful airline Captains that retired at age 60 that I know/knew. They are nothing like what you describe. They had enjoyed their time in the cockpit and airline world and after the career left with a sense of fullfilment and accomplishment. They also had happy wives, kids, and dogs. Guess it is all about the different people you met. You must hang out with an interesting group of people Sky. You seem to have flown in just about every possible type of aviation environment yet have never met ONE successful or happy aviation professional. Amazing!
