Third Bag
Same drift towards 1,000 hours in the USA. Biggest change is amount of pilots who carry a third piece of luggage...suitcase and flight bag as always plus (past 10 years) a laptop/attache type bag, domestic or international...the third bag generally represents the second job/business/employment that the crewmember is pursuing to ensure financial security and the possibility of a real retirement...the goal for many is to minimize or leave the flying job altogether (where it relates to income)...choosing to perhaps fly airline trips for fun in later years, treating it more like an avocation, if the outside business is successful.
