Greenslopes speaks the truth:

I agree with every statement, having jumped around all my life and having logged 19 flying-jobs including the worlds smallest airline and the worlds biggest and many in between.

A senior captain would do just fine jumping ship @ 57 with his lump-sum retirement of $3.5 mil, then hauling B-777s for some Middle East or Indian airline for $12K a month tax-free with housing and per-diem benefits inclduing sweet stuff on the road no questions asked.

When that gets old, then go fishing and golfing..

Just get out of my seat so I can move up a notch...
