Don’t forget the gargantuan pay check.

Is there something about the term “tongue in cheek” confusing for you RA?

A Rapid decrease in ability
.
Who says?
Got any hard evidence to back that up RA?
Is this skill a pilot’s personal ability that varies between individuals, or an ability to pass the mandatory checks?
At what age does this alleged rapid decrease in ability occur?
Are the young exempt because they are young?
Do the young have an innate superior skill from birth or do they have to accrue training and experience like everyone else?
If a young Sky God fails an LPC/OPC, (happens) should we put them out to pasture and rip up their ATPL?
Since it’s usually the old f@rts running the LPC/OPC, do the odds of failure increase inversely with age?

Do we understand what “tongue in cheek” means yet, or shall we continue?
