Hey Buzz, some of us pre 2nd officers were wrestling the shiny levers for years on rubbish GA and then regional airlines conditions - I'm aloud to enjoy living it up for a while. I've got another 35 years (barring medical or RAT falling over) to worry about that - plus turned down another window seat jet job in Oz over a year ago like lots of other guys did for a bigger picture lifestyle choice.
