Thank you for bringing up this topic. As a new "old fart" (just turned
50) I still see a need for CRM training to those of us who are cresting
the hill. But what form should this training take?

There's plenty of older pilots who, having reached 50 or so are still
having difficulties changing habitual behavior and responses learned
oh-so-long ago. Also, there are plenty of pilots who were hired older and
who may never see more than the right seat of an air carrier.

How does one train the older pilot? Like a porcupine, for starters ...
very carefully ...

and then?
