Question Where are the new pilots going to come from???

I remember when I was about 9 years old, on my first airliner trip, visiting the cockpit in flight. I think this is one of the reasons why I chose to pursue a career as a pilot.

Now that flight deck visits have been banned, what are peoples views on how we should get young people interested in aviation?

No comments like "aviation already has too many people"...... don't forget, the new young people are going to be paying our pensions in retirement!!!

Does anyone think the new rules will ever be relaxed? My thoughts are: Now we have lost it we will never see it again!

Hopefully this may promote some good ideas?

Cheers.....
