I'm reminded of a guy I knew who was (at the time) a 14 year employee of UAL, flying the B744 as an FO. His dad was a retired UAL guy, also went out on the B747.

They had their own hangar on the field, with several planes in it. Seemed idyllic.

He hated it. Wanted to quit. Stay home. Planned on getting into real estate or mortgage financing, where the money was. Then his dad lost the UAL pension to bankruptcy.

I hope he didn't quit. I think we all know what happened in the real estate biz. Not sure if the family still has the big hangar with all the toys, or not.
