Capt. Haynes is a retired airline captain, and a sought-after speaker on the

rolling in money.

There are some retired TWA pilots that need to work to make ends meet. There
are some recently retired pilots from "reorganized" carriers who have lost a
good portion of their retirement.

Then, there's those overpaid school teachers in California who retire at 100%,
get COLA increases from a bankrupt state, and who are rolling in dough.~

And should we feel sorry for each and every person who either made a
bad decision in their lives or squandered their savings?

As I say to the major propilots on the field, it would be a real bitch
to have to live on $150K a year. Stop your ****ing and moaning and
get on with life.
