Perhaps some youth today simply don't have that trait within them as it's a dog eat dog world today where it's all about me:-)

Once upon a time over 50 meant you where as good as dead as far as aviation jobs go & marriages actually:-) :-)
Fortunately the couple of posters who really are out of touch here have not returned, the rest of us can only support you not 'label' you
I truly hope the original poster can take solace in the fact that there are some out there who really haven't got a clue about personal feelings!
