In some ways this accident is not surprising, as the pilot exhibited a complete lack of self-discipline, something far less likely in an airline-level pilot (which is why airliners don't crash that often).
Some of the most undisiplined cowboys i have had the misfortune to have to ride along with were so-called professional airline pilots. I thought airliners didn't crash that often because the modern airliner, and perhapes airline takes the idiot factor out of the equation; a little different to a two seat (wannabe) jet.
I do agree however some extra qualification is required to fly such an airplane, dont think the CPL quite cuts it, maybe it should have been part of the first jet type rating? Lets not go overboard though.
Can i also add that some of the few most disciplined persons flying airplanes, that taught me some, were doing so on PPL's.
