However, there are some who will refuse to spend the time to read AND understand, believing that simply reading the material or relying on their own knowledge and experience will be sufficient. It’s those persons I would prefer to NOT fly with, thank you.

Oh gee wiz...anyone in here see acro planes, student trainers, even tprops and bizjets during training, people are standing on the rudders, back and forth all day long, year after year for decades...not one tail has fallen off..

What gets me is that the really funny kinds of accidents that defy logic seem to happen in Airbus's...
The only double engine failure ever due to birds?
The only crash where three pilots lose complete SA in level flight completely lost, right until the they impact the water?
The only tail coming off on departure at slow speeds?
Didn't some Afgani AB go down because the FO's seat slid back? Where was the captain?

I rest my case.
