Steady on, 60+ year old here......A couple of points if I may:
1. BA haven't started swinging the axe
yet . I fail to see how a 60+ year old failing to retire "now" and instead operating a flight today/this week, or even in the next few weeks is being "selfish"? It may be different in a month or two so perhaps we will end revisiting this if BA start asking for VR.
2. There's also the old Chairman Mao saying about walking a mile in a man (or woman's) shoes, as witnessed by Fly747's post.
