On the day the flag drops on this disaster:
- An F/O with young kids and a stay-at-home wife will get five more years at the same job for the same pay;
- An S/O will get to look at the panel for 5 more years for the same pay;
- A regional captain raising babies on $45k a year gets another five years to enjoy it;
- A military guy who wants to leave the sandbox and the SAM's behind for his dream job gets to wait another five years;
- A regional F/O who is stacking lumber at Home Depot on his off days gets another five years of explaining to his girlfriend that this really is a good career;
- A CFI gets 5 more years (if he survives) of bug-smashing;
- A CFI-wannabee gets to sell cars, or insurance, or frame houses for 5 more years.
Think I'm exaggerating? O. K. then change each line to 4 years. Make it any better? There's only so many jobs folks. It's a zero-sum deal.
Well said... with thousands of furloughed pilots out there, this IS NOT the time for age 65.. someday maybe, NOT now..
