Do what I did. We got acquired by a major airline so they had some pretty lame procedures so when in training I did their lame procedures but in the air knew I would never do them because they were not safe and I could endanger my passengers and crew. They had a major accident using those procedures years earlier. I retired at 60 using this technique with no problems so they were happy and I was happy. It is kind of screwed up to train differently from what you would do but I felt it was necessary to keep my job and protect my crew and passengers. Your experience puts you so far ahead of anybody getting hired now. You could move into the left seat of any airliner in a year with your experience. Good luck.
