Anyway, today's comic is late but here it is:

I just gave C/S a series of phone numbers, and they played "Dial a troop." Not unusual to get paged at the grocery store.

That can become way too true if you’re not careful

Ahhhh… the evolution of the marriage of a post retirement long haul pilot and spouse. But it’s also the same when the current pilot, after many years of commuting or extended trips, bids day trips and will not be home, underfoot. Either way, it’s relationship realignment for both, one may say

captjns,
During Covid, I was home for about three months straight for the first time in our 17+ year marriage at the time. We began to view it as a pre-retirement test to see if we could still get along. Not sure how valid it was as we both new, or at least assumed, that I would be going back to a full line of flying at some point in the future as things crept back to normal.

Today's comic might ruffle some feathers but hey, it's all in good fun!
Cheers!

I don’t know about ruffled feathers. Some very senior guys lose the bubble on what life is like for those less fortunate, but many don’t. Spoken as a guy approaching 50% system wide seniority. The problem is the guys that do lose the bubble lose it in a big way.
