Agreed. Now can we close this thread?
Why? Because people have different views to you?
For what it's worth, I believe the whole thing is a storm in a teacup, and it only makes me happy that during my flying days a more mature attitude was taken, and I'm glad I retired before all this sanctimonious crap became the norm (and seemingly loved by many)
Yes, I'm a sinner, I let my kids drive when they were 13/14, I let them have control of the puddle jumper when they were unqualified (I also did the same for my 8o year old mother) I let them ski unsupervised when they were 10, walk to school on their own, drink wine at the table with us when they were 14, smoke if they wished (they didn't and never have) stay out late with friends and all the things which would have me certified, locked up and certainly pilloried by some of you modern thinkers.
The result is two happy boys approaching middle age, one a controller at Eurocontrol and t'other a copper in Brisbane and nobody dead or injured due to my gross irresponsibility.
Where did I go wrong?
