Why would you say that about his potential timeline?

What's the alleged poor retirement planning?

Wow the press sucks, I read that headline, "planes drops", and then they say the FO panicked on the radio, yet on the actual recording, he is very calm. smh.

His body isn't even cold yet and you toads are ready to trot out your anti-Age 65 agenda.

Who cares? The man is dead. How about a little compassion for his family before you start using him to justify your "I got screwed by Age-65" whining.

You're such a Toolbag, maybe some of us have young families and are concerned with our own mortality. My curiosity has absolutely zero to do with age 65

That's B.S. and you know it. You just HATE being called out on it BEFORE you could mount up on your high horse and start pontificating.

I'm betting he was younger than 60, so there goes your entire argument. Sorry, Slick.
