Welcome to aviation? This is my third carrier in 20 years!

That seems about right. The average American changes jobs every 6 years, and will go through 3 careers in their life time (I think).

Did they happen to drop a hint as to what my next career will be?

Walmart greeter or Blackjack dealer. Either way, you won't have to leave beautiful Wilmington!:beer:

That casino will never happen. Seriously, this is Ohio we're talking about, the voters wouldn't dare allow it. Gambling is a SIN! IT'S A SIN I TELL YOU!

The Quakers that inhabit the immediate vicinity around the proposed casino site might think it's a sin, but the other 87 counties in Ohio beg to differ! I'm getting my poker game ready and will buy the first round when it opens!

A REAL casino brings you drinks for free if you're gambling.

Someone still had to retire at 60.

The company was growing (expanding). Nobody was retiring, as nobody stayed there long enough to retire back then. Most of us younger pilots looked at the job as a stepping stone to somewhere else. The older guys (at most in their early 50's) were just marking time till the place folded up and they had to move on to the next job.

Most of the nifty fifty couldn't get a job anywhere else. Remember, these guys first have to pass an interview something they never did when working for Air Midwest Charter, and second there is the small issue of them passing a psyche test not to mention a physical.

What is your idea of younger? I was 30 when I was hired in 93 I up graded 4.5 years later in 98 with no plans to leave ever.
