I'm not sure I could do that, much as I might like to.

I have a feeling that by the time I retire, I will be so conditioned by security checks and general suspicon directed towards me by security personell, having my exhalations analized for the presence of alcohol smells etc. that I would feel that something is wrong if that process was suddenly no longer part of the pre-flight routine a professional pilot has to submit to before actually getting on an airplane.

I would probably end up being more nervous then the person who's trying to learn to fly.

Is there any chance that there might be treatment for "post-traumatic-stress-disorder" for retired airline Pilots?
