I am a 60 plus -er who cannot really afford to pack it in yet , my pension from the only decent airline I worked for is just disappearing down the plughole thanks to the fatcats who have screwed us , the world economy , etc etc , and I wonder how the hell I will pay my electricity bill in about 5 years time , let alone travel to see my grandchildren . I have decided to fly as long as I can , you are a long time retired after all , and have a nest egg to give me at least 5 years of decent retirement before I have to batten down the hatches and become a peasant. So , sorry guys , I am hanging on to my seat for a while yet , and I can still 'cut it' , many of my colleagues cannot yet do that .
