lambourne is a dreamer, he is telling us what he would like to do, (and we are rising to the bait!), the fact that he chooses to fly as an FO when he could be in command says a lot too. lambourne is in fantasy land, he is a Walter Mitty and he needs professional help
Fortunately my company doesn't discipline someone for FOLLOWING sop's. I have received no negative job performance comments and exist very happily in my job. The sport of pimping the aged is like a well flown descent. You can do it so the passengers never know it has been done until they are near the ground. Same with old pilot tipping, most don't figure out how much they are disliked until they are in the car driving home.
As it sands now the age is 65 and that is more than plenty. Any thought to raising it will have serious safety effects on the worlds airlines. No matter what you old guys think you are NOT performing better now than you were at 45.
