I never cease to be amazed by the "you haven't flown for x years so what would you know" brigade.
They seem oblivious to the fact that they, too, will inevitably reach a point at which they won't be able to fly, after which (presumably from their own twisted logic) their previous experience and hard-earned wisdom will be rendered irrelevant.
I assume this brigade tells folks like Nancy Bird "Shut up, what could you possible contribute, you haven't flown as PIC for x years."
And remind again of how extensive and recent the logbook entries of the Chairman and CEO of QANTAS are. What's that? They've never been pilots? That can't be right. How could QANTAS possibly survive when it's not being run by pilots? Surely it is and will continue to teeter on the edge of disaster, unless and until it is run by current pilots, like that financial basket case, AOPA Australia.
Carthage must be destroyed, and Gaunty is the cause of all aviation evils!
