If you're retired, enjoy it. Take up as many leisure pursuits as you have time and energy for. Have a laugh with the old boys you once flew with and revel in the days when modern aircraft actually needed a pilot. Just let the aviation world carry on without you, your experience is good but it is just that-experience! Currency, recency and present day involvement is what we are needing not well meaning but outdated opinion. We are all big boys and can hold our own in discussions. Enjoy the summer and long may you draw your well earned pension.
