I have to admit I'm very happy just finished 30 years 6 more to go, lots of ups and downs but more importantly to me, had more laughs than I could have ever imagined.
Kids, grandkids get to see the world and get paid for it, after reading some of your sobering experiences, I feel exceptionally lucky coming from a working class family in the UK to being at a large airline in the US.
Good luck to all of my fellow aviators !
