This is tremendous news. There are
some grumpy old trainers and managers that I relish the oportunity to hear pontificating for another couple of years. There are those (not I) who feel they "need the money" - after a significant period in the industry before terms and conditions began their race to the bottom. Sounds like bad planning. Spare an unselfish thought for the less fortunate behind you without nice DB pensions who actually do need the money from a higher paying heavy jet job or senior position.
Still enjoy flying? Why yes I do. What that has to do with operating a modern FBW airliner in the paranoid security and EASA circus I'm not too sure.
Oh, and aren't the bunch now whining about "ageism" (get a life), the same lot whom through action or omission have "led" this profession down it's current path?
The good guys will be replaced by other good guys, there's no shortage on the line. The
seem to cling on forever.
Au revoir, auf widersehen, adiós, до свидания, 再見.
