I am not fond of fishing.
I much rather bother ignorant guys like you, and I absolutely enjoy to see how easy it is to irritate weak minds, like yours.

 

That explains it all.

 

Explains what, exactly? That we're friends for 30 years. He's a teacher to a lot of us, our younger guys love flying with him because he has so much to teach and likes doing it. He is always ready for a new adventure, too. I know him very well and finances or family are not at issue, his wife attends the Friday "beer and wings" parties, too. You might be more humble in front of your elders.

As to moving out of the way, we don't owe you that, earn it.

I never judged anything or have any suggestions on what should make someone happy after an airline career. That's personal. I think he should do whatever the hell he wants to and HE says he wants to fly. You are the one that says he should flight instruct or go fishing. He owes nothing!

Amen!

 

That's the logical disconnect, Sid. Its not someone else's job. Its HIS job until HE decides to give it up. Not you.

 

It explains why he has a job with you.
As far as moving out of the way for me, you can keep your job, not interested what's so ever.
I bet those young guys that fly with your guy REALLY love to fly with him. Especially the long overnights in some exotic place. What a blast

 

That is one way to see it, another way is that there is an opportunity less because he is there. Again, not interested in his job at all.
And his situation is different then an retired legacy guy.

 

Actually, they do, as do the young F/As. You seem to love making opinions about things you know zilch, nada, zero. You are rather stingy with humility and actual thought.

GF

 

Yes you did. Anyway, let me spell it out for you and the others that live in Lala Land; the OP is a retired Legacy guy. It is safe to assume that he has no connections to corporate jobs since he is asking around in here. He claims he would fly anything, jets, turboprops, twins etc etc.
Now, the chances of him getting a job in a charter or small corporate, with the "airline stink" he has, are slim to none. Unless of course he has some "Desert Storm" buddies like GF that would help him up. But then again, he would not be asking here.
Even if he does get a job, he would not be particularly liked by the guys around the FBO, that have been busting their tails for the same job, working on the ramp and cleaning the landing gears.
Now that the job came open, they were hoping for the spot, and here comes Captain Legacy to still it away.
Even worst if he does it just to have something to do. He could low ball everybody else. I have seen it with my eyes. Despicable.
And being with him on the road, for a young guy?
I would prefer to have a copilot in his twenties, eager to work, energetic and that can have fun during the long layovers.
So, chances are that IF he gets a job, without the "Desert Storm" connection, he would not be the most loved pilot around.
Left alone the fact that he would feel like a fish out of the water.
On the other hand, a sim instructor job, or ground school job, would help him to feel appreciated.
But if he has no urgency for money, as he shouldn't, than he should really let got and enjoy the retirement.

This is my opinion. Take it for what it is. I suggest you don't read my posts or block me, if you really despite what I write so much.

The problem is that around here, as in many other places, if you don't go with the "flattering" flow, with the "everything you decide is great for you" popular pretentious voice, you are automatically considered judgmental, arrogant, and wrongfully opinionated.
The way I see it, it is absolutely useless to keep telling each other how good we are and how perfect are our choices. I find it fake and selfish to just keep our mouth shout and tell everyone "great job" no matter what.
I know if I want suggestions from friends, I prefer brain storming with all possible opinions, especially the negative ones, and I consult especially with the friends that can be against certain decisions.
I consider it like a stress test.
But no, many here would just tell you "great for you" whatever you say. Are they even listening? Do they care? That is just fake.
Again, you don't like my opinions? Don't read my posts.
Or block me.
Or petition with the administrators to get me removed.
See how much you going to hurt my feelings.
