Why does every thread here have to turn into a generational debate? A few silly points.
Generational classifications are very fluid. A 32 year old and a 15 year old are considered to be millennials, but they have very little in common. I am a millennial myself, yet I avoided texting until 2010, didn't have a smartphone until 2014, & have never tweeted. Yet, I get lumped into the same group as current high school students.
And how many of you actually know someone in their late 20s living with their parents? I can't think of a single person I know who does and odds are I know more people in that age range. I know some did move back home after the financial collapse, but that was only for a couple of years when getting a job with no experience was difficult.
I also know a few people who look like the stereotypical millennial that would raise your typical APC poster's blood pressure. They have beards or man buns, eat kale, & are feminists. But they also have a great work ethic, have successfully started profitable companies, & are fun to be around.
You don't have a problem with "millennials" you have a problem with people in there late teens to early 20s because you grew up in a completely different culture. Since you are the product of your own culture, you are incapable of effectively judging a different generation since your own culture affects your perception.
Since complaining about the younger generation is as old as society itself maybe you should just realize that just as you grew up to be the ideal member of society, so will millennials. And by the time that happens, you will be retired and they will be complaining about the next generation.

Then this is an even dumber thing to talk about on APC. That means the oldest millennial can barely hold an ATP. I would guess there are more 50 year old legacy captains with wrinkled and stained shirts making embarrassing PAs than there are 23 year old pilots living with their parents in a basement full of participation trophies.

Given the behaviour on college campuses these days they are not wrong.

Clearly what is happening in a few classes in a few campus is indicative of the entire generation of 18-35 year olds. It couldn't be that if you went back there, it would be almost identical to what you experienced...

Communist sympathy started in colleges when paying tuition was a way for rich kids to dodge the draft. College has been ****ed up since at least 1970. And now it's leaking into high and middle schools with the faculty actually organizing walk-outs. This isn't a generational issue anymore. If it ever was, it happened before I was born, and I'm an X.
