Found this joke fitting since few have retired since the age 60 change:

Three men were sitting around talking about who had the worst health problems:

The 55-year-old said: "Have I got a problem. Every morning I get up at 7:30 and have to take a leak, but I have to stand at the toilet for an hour 'cause my pee barely trickles out."


The 60-year-old: "Heck, that's nothing. Every morning at 8:30 I have to take a crap, but I have to sit on the can for hours because of my constipation. It's terrible."


The 65-year-old said: "You guys think you have problems! Every morning at 7:30 I p1ss like a racehorse, and at 8:30 I sh1t like a pig. The trouble with me is I don't wake up till 11:00."

Have you seen these guys at 2 a.m.? Thanks to their continued enjoyment of the coveted "hub turn", our A plan is protected. I've heard they are toast near the end of a round the world trip too.

No payments now and fewer when they do decide to retire...If they don't go back to 727 SO.

Brilliant!

Oh, some WILL be back --- and as early as summer 2010!!

...even with the much lower BLGs on the panel next year --- given the 100+ junior guys training in the back seat over the next year due to the last excess bid.

Hopefully, no one will actually be on the street when they come back to the panel for the THIRD time --- yes, the THIRD time.

It's all quite sad actually.
