I plan to. Cash flow today is king. I plan on doing as much as my wife allows me to so I can have options in 20 years!

Agreed. I want to fly for a living because I enjoy it and want to, not because I have to.

No it is called knowing who the boss is, and finding a way to convince her on a daily basis that retiring early with four properties is better than the 25th pair of jeans!

Seconded - I want to still enjoy the job when I retire - not be tied to it. Would love to be one of those guys that gets away with one or two trips a month the last few years (especially since without the pension no flying my A** off to max out high three). One thing to think about for those that want to punch early is the cost of health care - don't forget to factor that in. No matter how much guys ***** our current plans aren't that expensive.

wow im hoping to flow up in this round from CPZ.

I think I am the youngest in the first 100 CPZ guys and if this list holds up and they dont hire anyone born after 82 I can retire at #6

That would be great!!

That is true, but you need to consider that many of the PIRPs were going to retire anyway with or without the PIRP offer. For some, the PIRP was just gravy.

Yes, but that first 1000 happens fast and remember...that is almost 25% of the FNWA list!
