" ............................On the flight deck now we want extremely well-trained, computer savvy, sober and professional young men."
Well, those are certainly nice attributes to have these days. Back when I was working I was proud to say that I had these qualities myself, except for the "young" part.
But I will add that it was also nice to have someone sitting next to me on the flight deck who could actually FLY. Not every well-trained, computer savvy, sober and professional young man (or woman) can do that.
Many readers will say, "Yeah........... ain't that the truth". Unfortunately, some readers will say, "What's he talking about?"
