Perhaps I don't understand your statement? I'm in the older generation,
draw the max social security, and antsy to continue working. I do not
countenance sloppy work, or sloppy writing. In many cases its just
being lazy and I won't stand for that either. Makes me real unpopular
with some who think I'm just an old a$$hole with an uptight attitude.
THAT is the problem with too many these days in my opinion. I
continually ask what ever happened to the good old solid work ethic.
Why is it we see so many foreigners coming to the USA and excelling in
school? And many of them can't even speak English! In keeping with the
aviation theme may I add....when I taught pilots for All Nippon Airways
and Japan Airlines, they were insatiable in their search for more
information on the aircraft, techniques, regulations, and all the while
learning to speak English. If they did less than 98 on the writtens
they were ready to commit sepuku!
My own kids disappoint me when I ask what I think are simple questions
about the world today and they don't have a clue where, what, or why
unless its in their own personal area of interest. Seems like society
in general is just accepting this dumbing down of America. I refuse to
without squawking like hell and making my feelings known. Won't accept
any less than high standards of the pilots I choose to fly with either
anymore than I expect them to expect less than excellence from me.
So THERE!!! Hrrruuuummmmpppphhhhh
