> Commercial aviation hasn't had a hull loss in more than a decade, but private pilots are crashing every few days. Oh boy wait until you hear about automobiles. Gonna blow your mind. The goal is not (should not be) maximum safety at all costs. It's a balance of safety, cost, and convenience. --- Come on, man. Of course a 400 million dollar jet at 35,000 feet with top-of-the-line avionics, redundant systems, IFR flight plans, and professional co-pilots with thousands of hours of flight time is going to be safer than Grandpa Bob in his Glastar. The question is whether a private pilot with an Aderol prescription presents a public safety risk significant enough to revoke his license. What's the FAA's data to prove that it does? Non-existant?
