Do you mean he took an early retirement option?
There are plenty more people that do the opposite, your buddy could just be the exception that confirm the rule.

Of course you do, he is probably the same guy.
Same as above.

And of course, as expected, name calling and personal attacks.
Back to you, but the saddest thing you will never know you are one.
That is to be considered pathetic.

So what major did you leave?
Your friends took a volunteer early retirement plan?
What were the circumstances? You know you are omitting something, just let it out.
You want to say that you and your two buddies just left a legacy, during the hiring spree, being senior, to go fly corporate without any other factor to be considered but the crave for better hotels and better meals?
Did you accumulate enough wealth flying a legacy heavy, that you now are content with an hobby-job? Well that is a legacy benefit.
And you should just let the corporate job to some young guy that needs to built his future, instead of hogging on any possible way of income. Not to me, I left a good 91 and will never look back.
If you left for no forcing reason, again you are the exceptions the confirm the rule, which is the opposite of the real tendency. And you should be evaluated psychologically.

You think it feels good to be a gangster? You should try...

Wait, I got it, you are ex Comair and then ABX Cargo...

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

No wonder you are so bitter with 121
My rhetorical question was for ex major airlines pilots.
You don't qualify. Not even by far. Sure you are entitle to an opinion, but you are no expert in the matter. Nice try.

Next!!!

Just stop lying saying that people would voluntarily leave a legacy to go corporate, without any forcing event, or special incentive coming form the legacy itself. It is just pathetic.

Didn't leave anything out. Not that I have to answer to the troll... (yeah, not name-calling... calling it like it is.... you're a troll****).

I was 30 when I left Continental. Not bitter about it at all... loved it, but wanted more. I'd love to tell you what I am doing now, but you would spin it in your sick little mind.

First friend (DAL 75/76) had been there 8 years, he was 39.

Second friend left United A320 when he was early 40s, had been there about 8 years as well.

All left for better pay, better QOL, better personal challenges. No early retirement, no bonuses... just personal decisions. I love how you know everything about everyone.

Can you go away now troll? Your cave is getting cold.

Seriously... are we adults here?

This site is for professionals, not trolls.... sport.

Considering he was around 40 when he left, I kind of doubt he was eligible for an early retirement. But I'm sure you will find some way to tell me I am wrong.
