Retirement jobs ...

[Hawkered]

The entire baby boomer generation never saved one dime, didn't create one damn thing worth remembering (most of the good stuff from the 60's was from people with pre-WWII birthdates), and they still want more!

Guys, thanks for the debt, fiscal cliffs, wall street collapses and bankrupted social security.

We'll be picking up the tab!

You'll be dead by then. No worries.

Likely, my Marathon time will still be faster than yours then.... :laugh:

Beat 3:10 yet?

I probably could get all my material from this board...

Seriously ... I have not experienced one case resembling the horror stories flying with older pilots I read here...

I'll have to acquaint you with everybody's FAVORITE GV copilot....

When everybody in the fleet knows the name, even pilots and FA's that HAVEN'T flown with him, then you KNOW there is an issue.

Sadly, he ain't the only one.

I can beat 3 days and 10 hours, even with my walker....

Beat 3:10 yet?

No. I'd be Lucky to break 3:50 now. I was counting on the fact he might not be a runner. I'll be happy with 4:30 In 10 years at 65. See you In 2023.

Omg. The thought of still posting on this board in 2023.

Beat 3:10 yet?

Yes, by quite a bit (and more than once). Have you?

But I like this idea. Instead of a mandatory retirement age, we could use marathon times. Once a year every pilot must run a marathon, whether an actual race, or observed distance outside or on a treadmill. We could have an age-graded system where anyone who can't complete the distance in under, say, 3:30 is forced out of flying.

I like it!!

Might get a number of Fatigue calls ...:laugh:

Since we're arguing the absurd, I'm a Thunderdome kind of guy. Only the most motivated would try out for the jobs,Darwin would handle the rest and there would be a guaranteed pilot shortage.

My bride is a baby boomer. She's more of a saver than I am (except for her reckless spending on the grandbabies ). Thanks to her nagging, the only thing we need to worry about is confiscation and redistribution "in the interest of fairness".
