I would loved to have staying flying, provided that there were;
1. no slot problems,
2. no airport security,
3. no badly behaved passengers,
4. a few crew my age for company down route,
5. no 12 hour night flights and only one trans Atlantic flight a month
6. no management half my age reinventing a wheel every few years
7. CRM that might assume that the problem was not always me, and that
F/O or the cabin crew manager may be wrong
8. Trainers that 'trained' rather than set out to find out how little I knew.
9. and I could go on and on ............
