How about an individual flying hours cap of, let's say, 20.000. Once you hit the mark you have to retire, enjoy living like a regular person, watch your offspring growing and so on. Enough with radiations, disrupted circadian cycles, insomnia etc etc...

Seriously Captain, use your energy for something else. Do not help the authorities to screw us even more.

I appreciate your views today at age 31 but you won’t be saying this at age 60+ when you realise you can’t afford to retire because your pension is nothing like you hoped it would be.
