Integrity: Strong Moral and ethical principles and values

I stand by what I said.

Pilots are generally an intelligent group and that includes smart financial planning. Everyone who has had a career as an Airline Pilot should insure that they're in a position to retire by 60. Whilst in normal circumstances we all have every right to continue our careers to 65, these unfortunately are not normal circumstances. It is evident that there is a significant oversupply of Pilots during the Pandemic, this will last from start to finish around 4 years.
Whilst Cadets and the very Junior element should suffer the brunt of these unfortunate circumstances. I also think that the over 60's shouldn't be hanging in there hoping to be called back from furlough or unpaid leave. I believe that those guy's should retire gracefully and with integrity.
