keeping flying

3forty

I say if you are fit and healthy then keep flying as long as you can
Recently DAL pilots voted no regarding allowing pilots to continue till 65....you see most of those guys junior to the aged 60 Captains want to slide over into the left seat and earn some big bucks but what they don't realise is that effectively they are stopping themselves for 5 more years of earnings....because when they reach 60 they too will be retired.....
So from a pure financial response....keep going because those extra 5yrs especially in DAL can amount to a nice round sum of money......
Hey if you feel that strong about the 60yrs mark then retire...if not keep on trucking
