I am 6ft 2in. weigh 103kgs and 76 years old.
I retired from career flying when I was 50.
I played at non scheduled european operation for about four years and then gave up
I have had a wonderful 22 years of retirement. a capitalised pension went out the window in the 1988 stock market crash and since then I have played all sorts of fields
I drink booze when I want to (unless driving a motor vehicle) I stay up late to watch TV, No early morning calls No answering to "the Company" or ego driven gnomes that control the aviation industry.
Let the young whipper snappers get on, and if stupid enough to fly past 50, 55, or even 60., just lay back with a good partener and think to your self what a hell hole of a life the airline pilot has.
If I had my time over again I would be a dentist!
More money, 8 to 5 only, Mon. to Fri. Tooth ache at 5 pm Fri, tough see me Monday I am going fishing now.
