Age 65 Stinks

[inline]

Thank you Pres Bush for signing age 65 into law. It was long overdue.

I've been worried about my health since I decided I wanted to be an airline pilot, I think age 16.

My primary care Doc says I'm one of the most healthy patients he has.:beer:
I still try to run 3-4 miles a day, play golf, ride a couple of horses a day. Worked real hard to make it to age 60, now have to shoot for 65, heck in another couple of years it may be 70 or greater!!!

Ahhh.. Yea sure. you run 3 miles a day. sure you do.

Ahhh.. Yea sure. you run 3 miles a day. sure you do.

No, usually 4, for the last 30+ years.:beer:

Ahhh.. Yea sure. you run 3 miles a day. sure you do.

Why's that? My old man is 70 and runs 5 miles a day.

You'll drop dead soon..I can't wait.

[FoxHunter]

You'll drop dead soon..I can't wait.
:beer:

Why am I not surprised!!!:laugh: Small little pr$cks like you have given quite a few guys the real incentive to stick it out to their 65th birthday. Enjoy the rest of your day.

You'll drop dead soon..I can't wait.

..............and with those last 3 prophetic words, Zonker's post count suddenly and mysteriously dropped dead at 575......

I never heard of BM until his name was mentioned in an email sent to me. I started with Seaboard World Airlines as a DC8 F/O, worked 6 months, furloughed the first time 5 years, recalled worked 5 months, furloughed 2 months, recalled worked three months, furloughed three months, recalled, worked three months, furloughed two years, recalled thought I had a steady job, 747 F/O, Flying Tiger Line bought Seaboard. Forced off the 747 back to the DC8, then furloughed by FTL out of seniority. Recalled 6 months later after a settlement. In 1989 FedEx bought Tigers. Pure dumb luck, the only important thing in this business. BTW while on furlough I worked for Capitol International, East African Airways, Beech Aircraft, Aerovias Quisqueyana, International Air Bahama, EFS Bahamas, Sterling Philippines, Evergreen, ONA. Hope I didnt leave any out!

Never tried Delta.

So when you were furloughed there were jobs available? Lucky you, indeed! That's not the case these days and your enthusiasm for this painful reality being visited on those junior to you is clear. The fact that you are enjoying making it worse for them is sickening!

BTW, were you jumpseating to Mexico City out of IAH about 3 years ago?

Tell us more about this settlement?

I'm working on an idea for a sort of settlement that might rectify the retirement age issue. I want to sue ALPA.

Maybe I'll get lucky.

That should be your right.

We should not interfere with the free market.

Did you find a job?
