Lol! Right!
The first thing that pilot has to realize is he is 50+ years old now and not 35. You are not pulling them in like the good old days and can't figure out why. You have a harder time relating to the younger crew members. For some reason your tail hook approach to your crew members just isn't as well received as it was in the Top Gun days. Re read Waves post. Go down and have a beer. You don't have to try and make it a Main Sail night every night. If you are worried about saying the wrong things, let the other folks do the talking.
What can I say, you've obviously got this figured out. And it sounds like such fun, who in his right mind would want to miss out on that?
