In my opinion being home is always better than being at work..I do understand that many pilots disagree with that..A lot of guys said they were going to retire early when it changed to 65 but I have seen very very few go early. Guys also said they were going to cut their monthly schedule back and not fly much instead of retiring..I only know 2 guys that are doing this.

That still needs additional context though. Mean vs median, as well as a post 60 only comparison. You have to take out all the pre 60 early outs to really get the picture people are looking for. A pilot who goes out before 60 for a medical would drive the stats down even though its not a 60/65 issue anyway.

They could be senior on something though. And working your ass off when you are 63+ has many different causes. Some self induced, some not. I will never be really senior here, but I will be able to do what I want to do when I hit 60... I think. At any rate, since we fortunately don't have a minimum hour requirement, I won't have to work my ass off. As to hobbies, I play guitar (love to get into a band of some kind) and I like to race sailboats. Not interested in golf anymore. (it sucks in Florida contrary to popular belief)

Watching Super Bowl Pre Game. They did a short interview with 90 year old Coach Bud Grant. He said you retire To something....not FROM something. I liked his perspective.
