It would be interesting to see how many people starting out or say in their 20's, would support the 60+yr old members to continue flying.
I suppose it depends if they think only of themselves, and think only in the short term - overlooking that they too will one day be 60.

Please forgive me if I've got the wrong person, but I have a recollection from previous posts that you're not enthusiastic about helping beginners either, because nobody helped you. (IIRC, you paid for your own qualifications from your earnings as a merchant seaman.)
If that's not you, I apologise in advance.


Surely the test of whether we help others, or fight against unfairness, isn't (or shouldn't be) whether we get some personal benefit?
