What about below average pilots? If half of them are still going to crash, shouldn't the true idiots in the industry be the test dummies? No pun intended.
Fortunately, true idiots don’t get licensed as airline transport pilots.
True, but that doesn't mean there aren't "true idiots in the industry". Thankfully, most commuter planes drive like buses and don't have the excitement to draw idiocy like extreme sports does.
