Do you have any experience in airline pilot training? I do, and can tell you that we are among the most highly trained and closely scrutinized of any occupation. Commercial aviation’s safety record is testament to that irrefutable fact. Still, we’re always striving to improve on that record through better training, better practices, better standards, etc. I’m in the sim every 6 months training and being evaluated on different emergencies on the aircraft I’m certified to fly. Trust me, I’d much rather go feck about in a J3, but that’s not going to make me better at my job. Just my opinion
