I’ve seen some new hire classes with 2060s retirement dates so you’re talking still ink wet ATP certificates because they’re just legal to hold one.

Got me thinking, is it going to be fulfilling to do four decades with nowhere else upward to go? Sure there are other type ratings, maybe training or management. But for the most part that’s it. The money is certainly compelling.
Is the view from the top as scenic if you didn’t have to climb all the greasy little rings to get there?
