Devil retirement

In New Zealand the state law is one cannot be discriminated against due to race,color,religion or age.
But USA will not allow a captain of a heavy jet to be over 65,
so the flightless kiwi does not go to a us state as captain,
Most of the other routes of ANZ there is little problem.
I found ANZ a difficult airline to work for so I left at 50.
and then played at being an airline pilot until I was 56 and then gave it all away.
I have now had 28 real years of retirement and there are not enough days left to do all the things I want to do!
Flying used to be fun, but now its a trudge. one almost need a release note to use the toilet in nz aviation.
