I assure you Tourist, with 5 type ratings and flying all over the world, I am a much better pilot now than I was in my 20's. If you want to feel all high and mighty and say that cadets and all these young sky gods are better off than you that's your opinion. Maybe you should just take an early retirement and go find something else to do since your skills have deteriorated so much. Seems you are trying to justify your own downfall in your career. Better experience than a 20 year veteran? Hardly. Like I said your view is flawed and full of crap.
