So, why are they the ones getting caught in weather, having icing
emergencies, skidding off taxiways, running out of fuel, crashing
their jet on final approach, busting the ADIZ, punching the DC TFR,
crashing into the ocean on a calm night, hitting apartment buildings,
and generally giving GA a bad name?


Come on... I recall a certain high profile inadvertent thunderstorm
penetration accident that claimed the life of a famous octogenarian pilot
last year.

No one is immune.
