You are remarkably out of touch a77.
I know plenty of Airline Pilots (with well over 20000 hours) that still, happily will discuss all aspects of Aviation at great length, yes sometimes for hours, in person or on line.
It is one of our great passions and many of us live, breath and eat Aviation no matter how long we have been doing it.
I know because I am one !
I certainly have always enjoyed Con Pilots posts and this Professional Pilot looks forward to hearing more about his long and interesting professional career.
