Can a crop-sprayer say they're accruing quality hours? What, hours spent flying below tree-top height in unsurveyed sites in perfectly straight lines with maximum economy of spray?

Can an off-shore pilot say they're accruing quality hours? What, hours spent flying over an unlit sea and then landing and taking off with up to 60kt of wind?

Can a power line inspection pilot say they're accruing quality hours? What, hours spent following the line wherever it goes, listening to the observer, negotiating with ATC and watching out for traffic?

Can a police pilot say they're accruing quality hours? What, hours spent absolutely anywhere in their area, following their position and talking to ATC, watching the fuel and manouvering as requested?

Of course they're all accruing quality hours. It's the nature of employment that you (perforce) practice your job and become better at it.
