They might actually know how to use VNAV.

So you knock him for knocking millennials while proceeding to knock “boomers”. Pretty hypocritical.

I suppose it is. I want to make my point that blaming the problems in the world on a group of people based solely upon the year they were born is not cool. ESPECIALLY when one can find many examples of the problems in the world that occurred while the boomers have been at the helm.

Turns out every generation has its attention seeking narcissists

Making fun of millennial quirks is so satisfying for some reason, but I'm not a boomer, haha.

VNAV has been around for a long time at the majors, unless you're a WW-II vet you got to use it.

But most millennials in the pilot ranks are not the stereotypical sort... if the shoe doesn't fit, no need to be offended.

My wife and I were talking about us being deemed essential...as she put it, we’re the ones running around the country spreading the virus (tongue in cheek, but there’s some truth to it)

I've got to say that nothing screams "I'm a stereotypical millennial" than calling someone a boomer, who is not a boomer.

They also probably don’t even know why they’re called boomers.

Nothing screams out of touch boomer like not knowing the 30yr old boomer meme

Hehe, I was waiting for that but I was already familiar since I hear millennials use that phrase everytime someone calls them out. :-)
