Perhaps he wasn't interested in becoming an airline pilot or logging 5,000
hours. Unless your goal is one of those two, why would you attempt to keep
flying?

Answer: A pilot bud whom happens to be quite a bit older than me
used to fly the F-4S off carriers and now flies 767's for Delta says
that he can't wait to go off duty so that he can fly the light stuff
(he has a hangar chock full of cool light sport aircraft, including a
trike, or "kite").

He's still a bachelor, but hasn't slept with a nice looking stew since
the '80's. And since 9/11, he said that things just went from bad to
horrible. He still earns over $4000 per month, however, he may be
forced to retire early lest he lose 80-percent of his retirement
pension.
