I don’t know the guy but I could be him. I was away a long time - lost decade - and came back from a non flying field. And I’m old. My skills were beyond rusty. But I had 3000 hours in the distant past. Skills returned quickly. My past experience has helped me as well. It can be done. The past hours are valuable.
