Lemons, busy tapping away his critiques on his smartphone and posting via the internet all of which were created by boomers. Ironic.
I don't have a problem with millenials. I just wish they had learned along the way that ever second of silence doesn't need to be filled with their incessant yammering. Or perhaps their Ritalin dosage should be incrased.

All I can say is I'm seeing so many more new FO's who suffer from ADD.
They simply can't sit still.
(And you know that old "Silence is Golden" adage? Yeah whatever...

As a milennial I apologize on behalf of my generation. Most of us are so wrapped up in ourselves its impossible to interact with people without a smartphone and social media interface where we can be the center of our own little world. Not all of us are like that though.

Apology accepted! . Now tell the rest of your tribe that silence is okay. In fact us geezers have an axiom from way back, "silence is golden." It's actually easier and safer to do the job when paying attention and not missing every atc call for incessant banal chit chat.
In return, Gen X'ers like myself and the even more ancient Boomers will try not to snore in cruise.

Nah, I don't think I will. The major advancements of the internet and the devices we all utilize it on are primarily the result of work done by the Boomers.
