Now working a job in finance as I wait for the tide to reverse... may never return to the airline dream if finance pays me more than a 30 yr Captain at age 35. Just my .02. The industry will never be as good as it was to my father who retired after 30 at AA with a nice lump sum. ps... he retired on his 60th birthday.
