Hi,
Well spoken, WWW.
Why are a number of pilots using the equation "Many Hrs=Safe pilot"? It is an assumption, yes, and it is relatively easy to measure. But I think we have to agree that many hrs doesn't guarantee a safe pilot.
Put a monkey in front of a computer keyboard for 1000 hrs - do you get a superb computer expert or a very bored and complacent monkey??
It is important to remember that the Quality of flight experience is also part of the equation.
Another matter: to be taken fully seriously, one should stop mixing taxes, fees and training costs and blaming JAR-FCL for everything, almost including tomorrows x-wind! Please.
