And I would rather fly with an experienced, young captain, than the old, experienced one who, after take off forgot to engage the auto pilot, and was utterly confused as to why the aircraft was not following the heading bug.
Flying into a mountain is not necessarily a function of age, but that was what he did. Statistics will take some time to collect, as the number of over 60 airline pilots out there are much less than the rest. 5-10 years, if someone can be bothered to collect it.
I my small outfit, the experience with over 60 as of now, is not very good.
BTW, who did not cross check the FMC route on your ex SIN flight?
