I think if you have a doctor of whom you refer to as "MY SURGEON" perhaps it is time to retire before it's one surgery too many.

That's fair but I am not near as interesting as Badflaps.

I got hired in 2010. I have flown the Dc9 the Maddog and I am currently on the ER. Before Delta I flew started out in KC135s. I am 35 YO and hope someday to be able to claim I have been retired longer than I worked.

All that stuff is under "badflaps". I retired in '89 after being denied a 1011 bid in LAX. (WAL fencing agreement.) Started as a '049 engineer at Modern Air Transport in Trenton in '63. I have perm. oil stains on my noggin........Just the sight of the letters "EWR" terrify me.

I would not even consider leaving to anywhere else. I have over 1700 guys below me and will move up quickly in the next 8-10 years.

32 years if health is of paramount importance.
