I'm sure he wasn't flying on the wrong side of the clock, doing six leg days thru inclement weather and getting up when he should have been asleep and going to sleep when he should have been waking up very often though!
It's not the flying that kills ya, it's the lifestyle. Oh, and the radiation I'm starting to learn.

Tell me more about the radiation, please. How bad is it? What does it do to you?

I couldn't find the article, but to condense about a few hundred pages of research down into a single post, airline pilots, especially transoceanic, experience levels of radiation exposure on par with the amount that a radiologist is exposed to -- if not more.

I took my private checkride from a local guy named Hartley Westbrook. I can't remember the exact number of hours he had (he has since passed away), but it was somewhere over 30,000 if I remember right.
In 2001, there was a book published telling his story. Here is the link:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1888223251/qid=1113414839/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-5263056-7883965?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
(If you mouse over the cover of the book, you can see a page from the book and also the back cover)
It is a small book, fairly light reading, but enlightening nonetheless. Hap was a soldier that went through hell while being a POW during WWII, and although I won't spoil the book, I will say that one excerpt from it says that once returning home, he couldn't eat a decent meal for months without becoming sick.
It is a cheap book, I highly recommend you pick up a copy and take a peek. My grandfather has my copy, and I don't think he has any plans on returning it. I better buy myself another one.

Let's put it this way. When you've been flying jets as long as I have, you don't need a night light in your room anymore.

That's good stuff, flyover.

Chemtrails are relatively radioactive. The NSA has quadrupled the amount of funding into the chem trail program. Since of us "legacy" (danged doofus analysts) carriers are ailing, we've accepted a generous allotment of the NSA black budget grants and have stepped up our program. I mean we were on that like Mel Martinez (R-FL) on a politically-pandering memo.
So basically we're getting more exposure from the higher concentration of the chemical dihydrous oxide XMJ-4419 w/bromide extract & caramel-coloring that we're using to spray across the skies for mind control.
Hey, I'm all for New World Order as much as the next guy!
(I can't wait until Google hits this page and I start receiving inquiries from conspiracy theorists)

I just called the CFI that I'm supposed to be doing the intro with 3 times to change the time and after talking a bit more with him, I didn't feel like it was gonna be a good idea. He seems kind of "slow" and "confused". And I never heard good things about Lynn's flight training anyways, so I called the new flight school that just opened at BCT (Cessna school) and booked a intro with them. The guy seemed a bit more serious but I still booked it. I kind of felt bad for the first guy a he sounds cool and I got comfortable with talking to him, but I don't think he is the right choise. Besides, I'm not doing flight training with Lynn anyways, so I guess I should be doing it with the school I'm actually gonna flight train with. What are your suggestions? Here's the link to the flight school I want to flight train at:

Brian, make sure you are comfortable with your instructor. When I flew out of EEN I enjoyed flying with my instructor, he was a fresh DWC graduate and I could easily relate to him. I'm now at ASH with a Lear pilot as my instructor. I can tell he is burnout from all the flying that's he done over the years. But I feel like I am getting a good education here because of the experience. I wouldn't have minded continuing at EEN, but the instructor went back to DWC to instruct.
