Thanks!
My client, the former TWA captain, was in his late 50's when he went to NetJets. He didn't want to fly for American, so when the merge occurred, he opted for early retirement and Net Jets grabbed him up. I think he's about 67 now and he definitely could still be flying if he wanted to. He flew up until he was 65. Last time he stopped in my office, he said that he had just retired and was taking his Harley on a tour of Baja...LOL...
