The one absolute in human history is that every generation thinks that the next one isn't as good as they were!
Personally I think that the article has some points - that status is placed over flying is a problem. On the other hand, anybody being asked to pay £100k+ for something is a customer, or at-least offering a partnership that both sides need to respect. The youngsters do need to accept being tested, but the "employers" need to show rather more respect to these young people prepared to pay this much to enter a profession than perhaps they always do.
