Those people getting double TBO using data based information are just plain lucky and any day now their planes will plummet to the ground.
OK, I'm ready to learn. What were his recommendations and does he have hard data to back it up? I'm serious. I'm ready to learn.
Or, is he just another person with an unsupported opinion.
As for the video Jabba posted, it does apply to aviation in a BIG way. Open data and information not being recognized for what it is, or how to use it, while the old-schooled among us hang on to the way they've always done things in the face of the data. If you don't see that, well, you're missing the point.
It is worth noting that
"a delusion is holding to an unsupported belief in the face of hard data to the contrary."
Each must decide for themselves how they will approach knowledge.
