Another way of getting youngsters airborne early is to create more jobs. Ban all aircraft with more than 50 seats.

People are in too much of a hurry these days. Australia to Europe by air should take at least 2 weeks so one can savour the diverse cultures along the way. Pilots skills should be tested, not by the use of a simulator but by sacking all the meteorologists . This thread should immediately be upgraded to 4 bars.
Only joking.
