Air Asia Indonesia Lost Contact from Surabaya to Singapore

[Leightman 957]

Clarification

Thanks for the clarification UF, but I think I understood what you meant. It may well have been me who was unclear. I have less concern about older pilots who came up through the ranks flying more kinds of AC than with the descriptions posted elsewhere here about the more recent crop of fast tracked new kids who took a different, more 'streamlined', and much less varied route working from small to heavy aircraft. Pilots I've known flew for fun on their time off, often in rag and stick or a wide range of other contraptions, some of which had almost no knobs. I think their curiosity made them better pilots. In any event I'd rather have one of them up front.
