So the question is, who has to do the learning? I'd suggest that it's the "old fogeys" like myself. The newbies, whilst often lacking in certain people skills, have a reasonable understanding of what's right and what's wrong in the flying department - even if all of their experience is based on exceptionally standard flying (which I can't argue against). Therefore, it's up to the more experienced member to create an atmosphere which is conducive for the less experienced to voice any concerns.
