Mike, I retired 5.5 years ago. Took my commuted value of my pension (works differently up here than in the US) and grew Turn3 into its 11,000 sq/ft current size. 15 months ago I got a call from one of our VPs asking if I would be interested in going back. So, I did. I can leave any day I want to. Re qualifying (took 3 weeks), and for the last 8 months I have been teaching a course. We have been on a 5/5 thanks to COVID since March 15th (lasting until November 17th) with plenty of stay at home "stand by" shifts where we need to be ready to report for our shift.
I have a great staff at the shop and I am there every day. Sometimes all day, sometimes in the AM, sometimes in the PM.
It is nice just talking to planes and teaching, not designing airspace, dealing with Airline execs, writing procedures etc like I used to do. Forgot how much I actually enjoy the challenges of approach/departure control without all of the politics. Plus knowing that any day I want can be my last makes it even better.... LOL
Cheers
