It simply bemuses me why there is an anti-cirrus sector on pprune and within GA generally. Perhaps it is simply down to envy? i have no idea but I cannot see, having followed numerous "anti-cirrus" threads, why there should be any other reason other than that stated. For instance, it is difficult to imagine that all cirrus pilots are trained poorly (as opposed to all non-Cirrus pilots) ; all Cirrus pilots are under qualified, blinkered and dumb, as opposed to all non-Cirrus pilots? there's a bit of theme running here isn't there?
I have no data to hand but I'd be interested to hear from anyone who can provide such stats which directly compares the number of pro-rata (by type) non-Cirrus SEP fatalities over say, the last 10 years with Cirrus chute pulls? Is there such data available? Surely, the stats for living / deceased, should speak for themselves and keep the cynics quiet once and for all?
