This post does not make a lot of sense to me.
What is meant by "pilot operates"? Is this flight time, air time, duty time, what? Doesn't just taking off increase your chances of a crash infinitely? What is the base line here?
Flying is all about risk management. We can never get the risk down to zero. If the risk is 1 in 100,000,000 for example, is it really significant if the risk of a crash is 5.6 times greater after 13 hrs.?
There are lies, damn lies and statistics.
