I setup forums for my flying club in an attempt to bring fellow students together and get to know each other. I figure we are all flying the same planes, may complete at roughly the same times and may want friendships in place in order to share fun and flying.

However, the site has had 5 registered members in as many months. Despite a big poster on the notice board in the club.

Speaking with the instructor it appears the majority of students are not as social as I thought.

Perhaps this fits with what's being said here. The majority of younger pilots only have the dosh available as they don't tend to socialise / spend vast sums in pubs n clubs.

If this is the case, do we get to see, hear about the younger hermit type pilots?
