Nothing's worse than having ex-airline or ex-military retirees show up on property. They generally have the 'my way' mentality and not fun to be around. If you fellas are bored, go take up a hobby, learn ceramics, etc. Don't come and dilute my earnings/upgrades. You haven't earned it.

We had an ex-mil turboprop retiree show up and I was tasked with his company and flying orientation. His attitude was poor (know-it-all, until asked a specific question), refused to wear FO stripes, and wasn't a good stick at all. Management loved his low-ball wage though. He only lasted a few months, as he refused several trips because the customer had the odd idea of departing before 10 a.m., which didn't fit with his retiree schedule.

Whoever thinks GA is paid below airline had better think again. For smaller corp jets it may be so, but the mid-size and larger have great pay and bennies.
