I really miss flying with the old guys, one of the few downsides of upgrading. Yes some of them were eccentric, yes some carry their own knee board and checklists but those guys have some funny stories to tell from the old days and it was enjoyable to hear how the company has evolved. Next time an old guy says “pumps on high, descent checklist” just roll your eyes and ask about the old company Christmas parties or smoking cigarettes with Ned in the cockpit.
