I've taken the first step toward retirement. A few weeks ago I had a talk with my boss and informed him that I'd be retiring in 2022. Also, requested a change to working part time, working Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The next day I got the OK to make the change to part time. He did deny my idea of retiring this year. He's got a very dry sense of humor. Actually he said I could work anytime I want to. I could even take off extended periods of time, like all summer. That might have something to do with the fact that there's a real shortage of aircraft mechanics, with most new ones going to airlines. Now every weekend is a 4 day weekend
Although they have asked me to work every weekend since making the change. But I've stuck to my guns and said no !
