Six months in, you ain’t test driving no more, you’re in the fast lane … going fifty in a sixty-five! Gramps. Get out the way!
And that goes for all the gramps: get out the way. You can’t hang in a posted sixty-five and it will only get more confusing in a posted sixty-seven. six? seven? ha ha.
But I get why people want to stay: the sexy polyester uniform; chatting with the first officer with a sock puppet, you know, one dummy talking with another, more ha ha; getting away from the ole ball and chain; standing in the lobby of a Holiday Inn looking all important and stuff with a company credit card; getting the discounted breakfast buffet; and avoiding at all costs the final chapter, especially when it’s nothing but empty pages before the story ends with an R.I.P.
Get a hobby!
That being said, 67 is inevitable. Too many old people running the show, and they are all brain damaged to the point where they actually believe that they are not only competent but at the top of their game.
The TA will pass by 80 percent. I’m taking the over. Where my bookie at?

I don’t think I have herpes yet. My only goals now in life are for DeSantis to eliminate property taxes on my 5 bedroom 4 bath house in the Villages of Florida and not catch syphilis from my neighbors. Mainly because The Villages Health clinic had to file bankruptcy because of 350 million in Medicare fraud. Who would have thought.

it’s different because they (you??) are actually grandparents where as people in their 20s, 30, and 40s are none of those things inherently

Yea these young pilots got it easy today . No having to suck it out at real regionals for 6 years flying turboprops for **** pay . They come right out of instructing into jet aircraft and then get hired at mainlines with low time . They should push retirement to 69 .

Yesterday the tallest person at the shooting range was 6'4". She was a woman. Therefore despite what we commonly know, this exception proves that all women are taller than men.

None of us were born knowing how to fly. Had to learn it which is experience. Delta LCA/PCS friend said at a meeting with all LCA’s after some poor decisions on the line. Chief pilot asked how do we teach experience in a few months? Someone in the crowd said that’s why they call it experience, takes time!
