It's great to enjoy one's work. It's also useful to know when to say when and thus be able to enjoy one's life.
How presumptious. Lots of pilots are happier flying than retired. I happily retired at age 58 in excellent health, but I would never presume to tell another pilot how he should live his life.
Exactly. My case in point, I retired from the airlines (happily) in 2007, and was lucky enough to continue with contracting as a pilot afterwards. My desire, not based on income needs. Floss for the brain, you know.
