Why should anyone who has enjoyed a long and fruitful flying career want to deprive many young, experienced and highly capable pilots of a job or the prospect of promotion to the left seat? So you have flown Tony Blair and David Cameron about, is anyone supposed to be in awe of that? If you feel your experience is so invaluable and you enjoy flying for the sake of flying why not join your local flying club and become a flying instructor? When I am 60 (hopefully before) I will do the decent thing and retire and let someone else have a decent chance!
A 92 year old surgeon can burry his f*** ups, most professional pilots cannot!
