But Masta ...
I'm socially inept outside of aviation, I have nothing to offer general society or my family. (Well they left me but that's another story).
Where would I go? Who would I work for?
The training system would crumble .... the beer in Japan would go warm ... the crew room would never be the same ... the simulator! it would seize up and die!
People need to hear how good I am on every sector, knowledge comes from listening to self appointed legends like myself, not from these young captains.
Exercise courtesy respect and manners around the founding fathers of aviation and you will go a long way.
