Do you really think that the only choices are Totalitarian "Communism" or Plastic Surgery Disasters in Gulfstreams? Serious question. You seem to have a pretty keen idea of what is Socialist and what is Capitalist. What do you think exists outside of those "ist"s. Is there anything? What does it look like? Where did you get the idea that your life is ruled by two competing Idealogies? Do you ever miss when you didn't think it was? What, exactly, do you think "Socialism" connotes? What about "Capitalism"? Would you drown in the bathtub out of confusion if someone told you that you should consider the possibility that both moronic labels are really Products being sold to you by the same anti-human Cabal? What if someone suggested to you that if you think you're so "free", you should vote third party? I'm betting that you'd start in with a large load of "but I CAAAAAANNNNNNNNTTTTTTT" whining. Or maybe you'd like to tell us all how Mittens isn't a Socialist and you Deeply Believe In Him. Lulz.

I hate to tell ya, none of the third party candidates, save the hard-line communists and socialists, would stop things like this. Some people will always have more money. Some people are complete toolbags. Put two together, and you get Tooly McToolbag Gulfstream owners. :P

I will start a party based solely on searching out toolbags (rich or poor) and kicking them in the nuts.
 
There are some roles where you prefer grey hair - pilots, doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. I would certainly pick a 55 year old over a 32 year old to fly my plane.
 
A lot of these demands are really out there. As crazy as the rules are, I can't really feel sorry for the people that go to work for this clown. His airplane isn't the only one out there that needs to be flown, if you don't wanna ride in that "tooly mctoolbag" jet as dalesben awesomely likes to call it, then don't work there. Clearly there are some guys that love this level of toolbaggary, because if not, then nobody would fly for him.

Lots of former 135 and 91 guys at my commuter. I don't know if I could stand being treated like a piece of dirt. I like the common folk.

Yep.

Even when (possibly especially when) they look at the airplane and go "Oh my God, are you serious? It has PROPELLERS!"

Rest assured, I am in the process of acquiring them as quickly as is biologically feasible.

Lol me too...got my first gray hair at 20, now I'm about half and half and debating dying it. Chicks do dig it though.
 
On my last day - right before I retire, or perhaps head off to another job - one thing I'm doing for sure is taking an enormous dump in the lav and not flushing. Even if they use the airplane a lot you have to figure it will sit for at least 12 hours, or perhaps days. I wonder how that will contrast with the AF cologne and the cheese course.

I wouldn't. I've flown with more 55 year olds that scare the crap out of me than not.

Especially if it's something with tons of new technology. I fly with a couple of older guys that refuse to use almost any of the just amazing features the avionics offer.

I believe that statement is an automatic month revocation of your FreightManCard. The only FMS button that matters is the "direct to", everything else is for sissies and bedwetters! ;)

I'm already reformed. Give me all the things I can possibly have to make my job easier and safer. I've got real live people in the back, and I'm not just killing myself anymore.
As far as direct, it's the only clearance I'll even accept. Anything else and we'll have a little chat about it. Not that the airspace east of the cascades in the lower 20s is very busy. At night, not only will I be the only one on frequency, I'm the only airplane the controller is working despite him controlling 3 states.

Thus far, I've had several (ie three or more) 55+ year olds:
1) almost run us off the SIDE of the runway in dead calm wind conditions
2) almost run us off the END of the runway
3) almost run up the tail pipe of an airliner (accepted visual separation; got within a mile) because they were doing 250 when told to do 180
4) do a 60* banked turn while fully configured at 500 AGL on final doing Ref +5, because of 3)
5) while snowing and accumulating on the plane, want to spray Type I only (8 minute hold over time in those conditions), 20 minutes before the pax showed up, with a 10-15 minute taxi coming up

Of course, that doesn't include any of the many "technology related" issues such as going out to the plane to depart, knowing they were going to have to shoot a GPS approach at their destination, asking for insight as to how to load and activate a GPS approach in the FMS.
