I loved it, Saigon. And it's EXTREMELY relevant
Gotta say it's funny too. Old, but funny.

As for the debate, it would be funny if we were discussing Age 65+ with a bunch of early 20's First Officers. That might be the case with the members of some carriers here on this board. In that case I'd have to agree it's probably relevant at those carriers.

In the USA however, it's not relevant, and comes across fairly arrogant if applied to many US carriers.

Like any joke, the audience has to be there for it to be funny for all. it surely doesn't apply at my carrier. Many of the First Officers have as much or more command experience as Commander of heavy jets as the Captains they fly with. That might confuse 411A.
