Your sensitivity is remarkable, life is really not about you. The other employees do not give a hoot about how age 60 affected you, get over it.

I'm sorry, but if you are 80 years old , with arthritis, trying to go to the Mayo clinic, do you really want to non-rev? Do you want to get stuck somewhere because you couldn't get on a flight. What about the active employee is trying to visit a seriously ill family member, or trying to commute to work. I respect the retired employees, for I will be one in 9 years. As a retiree, I would not expect nor want to displace a working employee if I opt to non-rev at all.

Just my two cents.
