Walking frames?
Sunfish, I wonder if you would like to work out with me sometime? I am 62, lift weights then ride a bicycle 7 miles everyday I am home - at an average speed of 15 MPH. I wonder if you could keep up?
I currently am left seat in the 747-200 and the younger guys like to fly with me because I show them lots of good stuff about the airplane and international flying I have learned over the years. I am still learning and a lot of it from guys in the right seat - they show me things they have learned while flying with other guys. I have great respect for the younger guys who appreciate what a great opportunity they have to be in the right seat of that big airplane. After all, I was there once.
Every once in a while I run into a brash, immature young stallion who bitterly explains to everyone in the cockpit that he should be in the left seat because he has 2000 hours and has been an FO for a year or two. I can think of a good place to put my "walking frames" when dealing with a person like that.
