As far as you being happy about being long gone, well, I'm happy that you're happy.
A lot of us miss you early-generation pilots.
I'm 55 years old, and my memories of flying as a kid are very pilot-centric.
You guys worked your asses off keeping us safe and giving us pleasant flights - your efforts were obvious and very much appreciated.
Some of the folks in the front office now clearly have no business being there. If you took them back in time to fly 1st and 2nd generation jets, it would result in a massacre.
After writing this and reading it, maybe I am happy for you after all. You're a class of pilot that didn't need the "extra help" of random drug tests, and I can understand why you feel it is an insult.
Be safe and happy, and thanks for what you did.
Cheers!
