I doubt a day goes by without someone here in the Pilot's Lounge at the virtual airport expressing concern about the diminishing number of pilots in the U.S. and the seeming lack of interest on the part of young people in learning to fly. There are evenings when the subject is batted around endlessly, yet the thing that strikes me is that those same people who are doing the complaining about kids that would rather play video games than get involved with real airplanes don't seem to do anything about it other than talk.
