Depends on his age. Over 60, big frozen DB plan with lump sum available ? Maybe, just maybe he's had enough. Hopefully as more of the red book guys that had careers we could only dream of will punch out as they hit 60.

Until we get more wide bodies, the only thing they can do is reshuffle the deck.

Ship 3351 flew 18:30 on the SIN-ATL flight last year. Of course, there were no passengers, no cargo and the biggest weight savings, no international flight attendants.

Normal range for the 330-200 is 7,250 NM. I'd say 13 hours comfortably.

If you don't make it on an international flight, your bags come off and are sent to baggage services. That's been my experience at JFK, anyway.

All cynicism aside, my question is how insurance after retirement works. I have no idea, and that is really the last piece of the puzzle I need. I got my LTC policy, and some good term policies, but if I go early, how does health insurance work? If anything keeps me here until 65 it will be that.

If the Golden Nite's turn on their chemtrail equipment, and it makes it rain are they called "golden's showers"?

-select "my page" (above the 767 tail)
-select "seniority"
