I agree. Just answer the question, without all the sarcasm.

When I look at my age vs. hours, and I look at how many hours a lot of the old toppies have at SAA before they retire, I reckon I will have many more than them (not that it really means anything, except for the fact that we work a lot harder now than they did when they were halfway to a third through their career). Some retiring Captains have 22-25000 hours. I reckon I'll maybe hit 30 000. Admittedly, a lot of them sat in the SAAF leaving there after 10 years with only 1000 odd hours. Civilan pilots working hard do that in a year and a half or so.
