Wingswinger,
As I've said several times I'm nearly 60 myself.I did not say pilots who want to fly past 60 are greedy, but there is as, we all know, including you, that there is a lot of greed and backstabbing in our ranks.
Doctors, in some ways are similar to pilots. People might suspect incompetence but do little about it to avoid controversy and the possibility of being wrong. A doctor in this part of the world, responsible for checking cervical cancer slides was way past his use by date. The unfortunate consequence was a lot of women lost their lives.

Wing Commander,
I don't fly boxes either Wing Commander, self loading cargo, but given the hassles with the punters and the occasional drama with cabin crew I'd say flying boxes has a lot going for it.

How much do you need to retire?
