Hate to disappoint you
Not disappointed at all - Your post was a series of personal opinions without any facts, statistics or other hard evidence to back them up, so you couldn't possibly expect to be taken seriously.
many senior instructors I have spoken with over the past year or two have agreed with me
Well, this senior instructor doesn't (obviously), and nor do any of the other senior instructors that I talk to every week.
My PPL(A) test was 1991, CPL(A) was 1992, so that seems to qualify me as one of those uber-pilots who you think are so much better than the yoof of today. In fact, of course, we were no better or worse then than the PPLs/CPLs being trained today.
I don't know what your particular gripe is, but clearly something has got under your skin. If you set out the facts to support your case we can have a reasoned discussion. Until then it is just a bunch of wild opinions, factually incorrect, and deliberately made as dramatic as possible.
