99.9%, really ?

The pilots of the 2 last Lion Air flights did it. The Copilot in Lion Air crash and the Captain in ET302 did not. That's only 50% !

By the way, when speaking that an "average pilot" should be enough to succeed avoiding a crash, it implies that the crash probability is very near 50%, since by definition 49,99% of the pilots are higher than average and 49,99% under average
