They're not approaching senility, they're a good ways into it.

I contrast your description and views of Senior Captains with the way I viewed the WWII,
Korean and Vietnam era Captains I have flown with.

Flying with those guys are some of the greatest memories of my Career even with all the bankruptcies, furloughs and strikes.

I'll take my memories over yours any day......

Not them.

I flew a lot of those guys myself. You better be real careful before you assume exactly what they probably think of guys like you.

+1 with this post
Many of us have been more than patient and rolled with the punches thru more than a decade of upheaval. I can assure you we have amassed thousands of hours of experience and more than paid our dues. These pilots have enjoyed the advantage of movement provided by age 60 and then gained yet another 5 years to get their house in order. In my opinion that is more than enough time. While I respect those who have come before I ultimately have an obligation to provide the benefits of my hard work to my own family. It has been a pleasure flying with many of them and I have learned a lot but the time has come to move on. Kwick you paint with a very broad brush implying that we are impatient and greedy for wanting exactly the same benefit that the generation before us has enjoyed. I disagree completely with your assessment and would challenge you do a thorough review of the majority (there will always be exceptions) of the previous generations careers and then compare it with what the majority of what this generation of pilots have had to endure. Once complete could you again please share with us how you think WE are the greedy ones.

Great post +1
