Some have a big part of our identity wrapped up in being an airline pilot. It can be difficult to set that aside. Not everyone working to 65 does so purely for financial reasons. Even when we are financially able to leave Delta before 65, the contingency planner inside of each of us says we should pad the nest egg just a little more.
