1. Statistically rare for a commercial pilot to be faced with a significant emergency on a regular basis, in fact unlucky if its more than one or two times in an entire career.
2. Statistically proven that not every commercial pilot is up to the job when the time comes
Bu**er! I must be statistically unluck having had a variety of 'exciting' moments in everything from single seaters, rotary wing and airliners! Including (in airliners) engine failures, cargo fire indications, severe turbulence/jet upset and hydraulic failures. Lets not even talk about the abjectly fantastic reliability of Her Majestys kit!
Still here, along with those passengers I was responsible for, so must have been 'up to the job'.
