There are various articles published about airline pilots and life expectancy, this is just one of many.

So, let me see if I follow...if my piloting skills have eroded like my cerebellum over the years - and as a result of this putrefaction I am now a below average pilot, how much time do I have left? 'Cause I want to go out swinging....

No no, I'm serious!
Well, sort of serious. I suspect things will change with a) FAR117 and b) changes in the EWR flying that may dilute the amount of productive trips.
I will admit I did ok and my pay hours are considerably higher than my flight hours, but I don't think that's going to happen as often in the future.
I doubt Toddnel is exaggerating in the least, FWIW. In fact, guys that play the game... well, they do alright.

There are a number of studies that have profiled aerospace employees and their expected longevity; suffice-it-to say...we're likely ahead of where guys were 25-30 years ago.
Just sayin'...

If you can't live on 100 grand a year when the poverty line is 27 thousand "family of 4" then you have bigger problems.
Dude unless you live in bumf%#k Oklahoma even a 100,000 a year with kids doesnt cut it. Welcome to 2013. That family living on 27k a year is living pretty bad, and I'm supporting the lazy bast@&ds. I was raised where if you want to be successful and have financial security you WORK. Worked for my dad, works for me. Lots of guys work a lot harder for less then I pull in.
