    Slightly off topic, but I really wish you could be a student even with every job at 60. I know I could do better with, say, machinist and I know there's dozens of guides online, but they're also written in a manner that confuses me. Doesn't help english isn't my first language. I'd much prefer if someone who really knew their job could mentor me on rotations and such in simple plain english and show me move by move how it's done.

    Cue for "make friends, ask FC, ask LS" replies.

    About Mentors chatting among themselves in novice channel: I believe this channel exists to help other players with whatever question they may have. On my channel there's someone, who keeps telling off every mentor posting something not in response to a new player's question. However, even though we met the requirements to become mentors, we're still not all-knowing ourselves. So I feel it is completely ok for a mentor to ask a question (as long as its game related) and for other mentors to answer him, even if it is an endgame question and new players probably wouldn't understand.

    On a sidenote, I also have no problem with newbies asking for help with filling their party in that channel.

    There should really be no problem with mentors asking questions. In fact, I would encourage it because I've seen mentors who say they simply don't know the answer to a question. Also because newbies and mentors need to worry about different things: Newbies the basics, and mentors the advanced stuff. They'll both be terribad if they don't learn these things.
