It's really interesting that Alaska, with arguably the worst weather, has
one of the lowest percentages of instrument ratings.

Of course, I've also heard that they have a lot of "pilots" flying around
who don't appear on any FAA database!

And I've heard lots of Alaska pilots fly air charter flights in order to
save up enough money to get a pilots license.
