Geezerly best wishes

Thanks, Tomcat. For those considering early retirement, it's much better than I thought it would be. Hate to admit that the BK threat may have actually done me a favor back in '03. Hope all of you guys, N & S, have as lucky a run with the Widget as I did.

Glad it's working out well for you...... Just getting ready to roll over the big 50, so thoughts are turning to what I'm going to do in the future. I enjoy flying the Widget, but know there's an entire new life out there after I hang up the wings. Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective on this crazy industry.

V/R, TC

I've spent all day enjoying TRW's in NYC and ATL. Does anyone know what the final PERP count was?

Three hrs over block on a four day. You just cannot beat it. Even better is I am legal for the next trip by 28 minutes. Even better......

Heyas,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a fair number pulled their papers.

More than 10, less than 30 is what I heard, and those weren't the final numbers.

That is still good news. 199 is not a bad number. Most have realized that there is nothing out there for them to do and they need to stay here.

I had a CA this last week tell me how no age limit would be great. He would fly till he died and that was just to fricken bad for me.
