Fodase,Isn't it obvious that Bob is as selfish as the rest of them? He's got his (pbgc, flying past 60 etc.) and he is happy to brag about it. With people like him it is no wonder that the east pilot group as always been the cess pool of this industry.
You have it exactly right. I'm selfish to stay beyond age 60 to help make up for the loss of pension. I'm also selfish to work past 60 in order that my wife gets the very expensive IV therapy for her autoimmune/neurogical disease. I'm also selfifish to work past 60 to help my brother in law who has bone cancer and lost his house 2 months ago to a fire. And last but not least I'm selfish to take care of my mother who has lung cancer and my father who has cancer of the larynx. You are absolutely correct.....it is all about me. I'm not bragging I'm just telling you how it is and I fervently hope you have anywhere near the same problems at one time.
Best Regards, and Happy Holidays,
Bob Moore
