As a retiree, still flying at 73, I just cant figure why these folks want to keep flying for the SAME outfit, are they frightened to leave the big corporation "womb" and afraid of demonstating their skills under a different culture? If this chap joined at 21 he really hasnt seen anything outside of Air Canada, a fine place to work and fly for sure but there is lots to be seen on the "outside". Since I retired I have been endorsed on three types not flown before and enjoy going to sim to demostrate that at least some of the grey matter still works, having said that I do intend to pull the pin fairly soon and am busy training my relpacement.Some of the most rewarding flying done since leaving "Big Red" has been charity work, flying Cancer patients for treatment, sure puts things in perspective when one feels hard done by, maybe he should try somthing like this for a change of scene.
