Yes, this would make the wingly site look a lot quieter but would likely act as a (admittedly arbitrary) quality filter to remove some people who maybe aren't ready to take passengers quite yet
Would that suffice to make people more comfortable ? My personal opinion is that if a pilot met those 4 criteria in a verifiable way, I'd be open to going up with them
DJ6 - personally no - it's still commercial in my view but the French reaction, strange as it may be, shows that the abuse of cost sharing is rampant.
