I remember when Vegas was “cheap” to get you in, seems like everything else Covid they’ve changed the model to be “premium tax for the Vegas name”.
Granted it was Shot show, AVN and Concrete expo when I was there last, but the appeal just isn’t there for me anymore. No desire to spend $200+ a night on a standard room - to go blow 1k on a dinner for 2 and another $500 for modest seats at a show.
I flew with someone who looked at me blankly when I quoted “Airplane!” That’s all I have to say about kids these days.
Don't feel bad. My SO had no idea what I was talking about when I said the Lama was a big hitter.

If Tropic Thunder was made today…oh waitIt gets worse.
If The Passion of the Christ were made today, it would take place in 53
If The Ten Commandments were made today, it would take place in 1379 B.C.
Worst of all, if The Land Before Time were made today, it would take place in 69,497,940 B.C.!
That would explain the smell of elderberries.What was the quote? Not sure I'd get Dumb and Dumber. I'd get Caddyshack, Airplane, Fletch, and Monty Python. Damn I'm old....
From your side of the mic, you're used to dealing with people who have been around the block a time or two in professional flying and understand concepts like "EDCT."The quality of newcomers may seem good from the cockpit (which is comforting) but from my side of the radio there has been a dramatic drop since the post-Covid hiring boom, and not just in the regionals.

I think that those of us who grew up with those shows don't grasp how fringe Monty Python or even SNL was for the time.

You have a drop in experience in the flight deck, but experience and quality aren't the same thing.
I fly with a lot of new pilots who, while good at what they do, don't really understand the flow or pace of operations. As an example, I see a lot of new pilots going full boards with ATC-assigned (non-urgent) speed reductions, crossing restrictions, even their own decisions to slow. This isn't unsafe, but it's uncomfortable (in my jet, at least), so I treat it as a "if the tone is right" debrief item. It's preferable to the "touch the boards and you buy me a beer" attitude, but it's indicative of a larger problem, which is that a lot of the standards of energy management, descent planning, and passenger comfort aren't quite there yet ... and a lot of new FOs become new CAs without much seasoning, so it's a bit "green on green," from my POV.
That said, a lot of bad stuff is dying too, and the actual liability is there for most of my FOs.
I TOTALLY got that one!No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Speaking of Hawkers, this was an interesting watch that popped up on the youtubes
Slow his voice down a bit and add some 80's synthesized background music and you would have the old Discovery Channel Wings from the late 80's/early90's.Speaking of Hawkers, this was an interesting watch that popped up on the youtubes
Welp….. that’s encouraging.Fun fact, if The Wonder Years was made today, it would take place in 2004.
