AN12 - as a gentleman and aviator i salute you!
This is not a question of black or white. As pilots responsible for the lives of passengers, this is a question of experience and inexperience. Colour would make the equation look good, but experience takes time. Mess with that and the conclusion is foregone.
Flying is inherently dangerous. We like to gloss that over with clever rhetoric and comforting statistics, but the facts remain: gravity is constant and powerful, and speed kills. In combination, they are particularly destructive.
