Some of the best flights I have were served by these grannies and grandpas (well, some younger ones are like uncles and aunties as i am getting older too).
I second your appreciation of more experienced cabin crew. The LH group airlines have many or them and they are the backbone especially for premium class service. You can immediately see the ex Swisssair (SR) hosts when flying LX.
After the major meltdown of the airline industry which might make disappear many LCC, the by then government owned legacy airlines will certainly stick to those experienced crew members, it is rather the end of the Air Asia/Easyjet/Ryanair college boys and girls
