Aircraft approach category question

OK465:

The good FAA job for the retired military or airline guy (or gal) is flight inspection.

Trust me, those folks really do understand the regs and circle to land.

OK465:

Agreed.

However, I knew a few of those folks who were divorced also.

No doubt. As good as the job of flight inspection pilot is, nonetheless the typical airline pilot with a good retirement wouldn't take the job.

Some are great, some are a** holes. I have had both but most were great. After about 30 or more check rides with FAA you get them all.
