Devil Give it a break!

Most pilots who want to fly beyond 65 either have something missing in their life or labour under the belief that they are viewed as a Walter Mitty with lots of hours.

The latter don't mean a thing these days. I have a friend who logged 36,000 on single engine aircraft doing circuits and bumps in General Aviation.

What a way to die!

Compare him to a guy who has say a total of a reasonably low 10,000 hours on jets and the latter kills the former in skills, experience etc.

Hours don't mean what they used to do, many Airlines now "weight" them for quality NOT quantity!
