I for one would love to continue to fly until I am unable to do so. If you are in a situation where you need a Captain to retire to see an upgrade then I would suggest looking for another career.
I spent years as an FO and never compalined about the crappy pay. I went and got another job and ran that small business to support my family and to continued to fly until I was able to hold a leftseat.
I bet you whiny one's are a real pleasure to fly with....and hope I never need to do so!
On a side note: If the old fart does die...you strap him in and continue to fly single pilot.....but maybe that is the real fear! Not having the experience to do it on your own in the right seat. Trust me, what I see from the leftseat, I understand why the passengers might not agree to be left alone with today's average first officer.
Cheers
