From a Captain, a few yeas ago, who apparently has no use for savings, just jet skis for his kids and spending every dime he makes:

"Who contributes to the 401K? Are you kidding me? That's chump change!"

"Stupidest Things I've Heard in a Crew Van"

Not in the van but in the Clark 'crew room' (or is it 'crew shack'?)...
Senior >60 captain doing his 747 ioe (I think, a check airman was present)...

When someone mentioned the company giving incentives for people to retire early he said:

"If I retire early how the he@@ am I supposed to get back to Clark???"

Pretty sure he wasn't kidding...
