Good thing none of US did anything stupid while we were young.
Or at least tried to let as little people know about it when we did.
Then again, the internet didn't really much exist then.
Many of the kids are keen, and may gain experience over time, unfortunately what they WON'T get is real exposure to real flying when the machine is performed to its limits--or sometimes unintentionally beyond it. Or maybe know when to push instead of pull.
Or had the opportunity to scare themselves in storms, ice, tough to get into strips (in bad weather if you like), or marginal performance landing, taking off, or climbing out. And learn a good lesson from it.
Or getting a well deserved bollocking from someone they respect and trust over stuffing up something important rather than something trivial. And knowing the difference.
Or learn there can be great value in simply firewalling the throttles and hanging on to the SOB for all you're worth.
They will operate in a very narrow window of flight, never really be outside of it in a real airplane, push buttons, and manage systems. Maybe they'll even have an app on the iPhone and can sit in the back to eat. Guess that's OK when everything goes as planned which we all know is always the case in modern day flying.
While it's good to promote youthful exuberance, my bet is the folks in the back like to see a bit of fit, seasoned grey sitting in the front. Or at least ads pretending that there is. Don't think most cruise lines would advertise Wally, Lumpy, and the Beav as their trusted skippers.
