All I can say is my piloting skills are not improving as I get older. Anyone that says so is full of crap. I look forward to retirement and those that don't need to get a pet, hobby or get along with their significant other/partner (trying to be politically correct).

You got to the left seat five years sooner because everyone in front of you left at 60.
You you earned, conservatively, an extra 6 figures in income after 60.
I know Captains retiring today (or soon) under the same pay cuts and pension theft as you, that have saved $5m+ in recovery by busting their ass and adjusting their living. Your problem is not the problem of everyone behind you. Especially if you didn’t immediately start prepping.

$5 million?
You know captains who have saved $5 million by flying an extra five years? How is that even remotely believable. Yes. Most who hired on believed that 60 years old was the end of the line and they would collect their retirement.
That was stolen and an extra five years of work was tacked on. The only way that swings the needle in their favor is if they are fortunate enough to die soon enough so they don’t run out of money. The vast majority will not be so “fortunate”.
Some people on this forum act like the extra five years was somehow a benefit. When your earned retirement is robbed from you, you probably will find work wherever you can get it.
