20 plus years in thanks. Not spreading fear at all just exposing the current landscape. So you’ve flown the “Connie”. I heard she was a dream to fly. I stand by my proclamation with the inexperience and distractions of the younger folk coming straight out of a Seminole into a regional for 3 months and then onto the majors. With your 100,000 hours of experience you should know that things happen faster in todays 121 environment not to mention how crowded the skies have become since the 40’s. On the other end of the spectrum with the senior folk and procedural drift, you know what, let’s include the yolk in the middle as well the phrase “There are bold pilots and old pilots but no old bold pilots”. rings true. It comes down to scenarios, situations, past emergencies and other various stress inducing thought processes that instills the calm approach that a seasoned pilot takes to fix a problem. Younger aviators just don’t have that yet and are prone to make more mistakes. Publications change all the time and usually somebody in the schoolhouse gets an award for it only to be taken back out of publications due to negative feedback or substandard outcomes. I still trust the old fart to get me home safe because he/she has never killed anybody while he/she winds their watch.
