How could someone mismanage their finances so badly that they are left in a position where they feel that they have to carry on after 65? Are airline pilots, as a group, really so clueless when it comes to medium to long term financial planning? We are talking here about people who are spending the majority of their careers on six figure salaries. The mind boggles.
But not everyone flies for an airline..... so a six figure salary might well have at least one decimal place in it.
