I'm not yet a geezer, farve or a ND but my parents taught me to respect my elders, something your's obviously didn't. Most people begin wearing reading glasses or bi-focals around the age of 40 which is far from a geezer. My question to you is this, considering your views on aging, do you plan on retiring when you reach the age where you need bi-focals? If your avtar reflects yoru birthdate, you better start planning as it will be soon!

It seems that hind teat is producing some very bitter milk.

You know those gals at the bar? They like you for your good looks and carismatic personality. Really. Bi-focals are HUGE chick magnet!

I talked to a buddy of mine who has a friend in the training department and unfortunately the rumor is not true. However, they've had some who did show up but are struggling with getting through the training. Being out of a flying seat for a while is really hurting them..
"unfortunately"?...Given your distaste for "vicious" posts, that was quite a zinger buddy. I'd like to know who made you and all the other bemoaners of the age 65 legislation the arbiters of who does and who doesn't deserve a flying job!
