Proof, factual and appropriate.
Can You provide specific data.
Also is there needs to be proof that the self type rated pilots are more liable for an incident, which to my 35 years in aviation has NOT proved to be the case.
In fact I fully support SSTR's providing that there is a job at the end of training.
I have seen the "I can pay crowd" comefor interviews with the idea that if they can pay they are in, no preparation just a cheque book.
They go away very bitter.
Having also seen those who were well prepared and scraping together the cost of their course, pass selection, a very low percentage ultimately fail the course or require more a than a couple of extra sim details.
As I said before provide factual evidence to support your claim, and back it up by statistics of the same for those whom the airline paid for.
I think you will find your previous statement does not hold much weight.
