Young people don't want a lot of things.

Golf courses are closing.  No new young people are interested in golf.

Neither of my grandsons played any sports.  Then had their X-Box, that's 
all they wanted.

Go to a small airport.  You won't see any (or very few) young people 
there.  Just a bunch of old geezers.  Airlines are now considering 
training new pilots.  They cannot find people who are already pilots.

And on that note, from Indonesia's final report:

"Further, the report found that the first officer, who had performed 
poorly in training, struggled to run through a list of procedures that 
he should have had memorised."

Lack of young people showing is not just a VMS issue.  It's a rather 
serious human issue.
