However, as someone in this thread has stated, any 59 year 364 day old pilot who gets to stay and gloats about it is indeed a complete jerk, IMO.

But hey, more power to the guys and gals that can achieve that goal.

Well, I was mainly talking about purple and brown pilots here and I think the numbers are pretty accurate. Also, they still do have an A and a B plan on top of the 401k savings.
