He has nowhere near enough data points to justify a comment describing

Do you not need more data points to dispute it?

No. To support a blanket generalization, one needs to survey the entire
population. To refute a blanket generalization, one need only survey a
single member of the population, so long as that member is a
counter-example.

If you had ever studied statistics, you would know that is not true. That is
why sample sizes are less than population sizes, and how confidence levels
are relevant.

There probably aren't enough charter pilots to get a meaningful
distribution.

I do know that those flying comutters for the airlines almost need to
have a second job.
