He told me hes having fun and wants to do that for maybe another couple of years, then finally quit for good.

You had to eat **** for 8-10 years in the military or regionals or both and if you don't want to retire until 80 I don't blame you. Why would you retire now when earning are good. The US has never been more than 10 years without a market correction. Why would you retire then watch your 401k plummet with the stock market in a couple years. Sock away that extra dough and put it in the bottom of the market.
Oh yeah and Iran is shooting ballistic missiles at Americans. So get ready for price of oil to shoot up.

When airline management uses their money and political clout to lobby for an increase in the mandatory retirement age,...…. THAT'S when we know that their is truly a pilot shortage.
