Fly past60???

Well, I don`t see how anybody in his right mind would want to fly 1 hour past his 60th birthday - to me even 60 is too long.( No, I`m not a F/O wanting to get into the LH seat, but a senior captain in my mid fifties flying longhaul for a major airline). Having spent my whole life driving airplanes around the globe, I just have enough of endless nights in the cockpit, being away from my family and hotelrooms. I`ll quit at the age of 57 and really look forward to a few years of quality life. Statistically`, most long haul pilots won`t live to 70 anyway.
