Then your pilot friends are not representative of the
pilots under discussion.
The pilots being discussed are those who drink and drive.
Obviously, if
someone is careful not to drink and drive, he'll probably
be at least as
careful not to drink and fly.

I can think of at least ten


How many of them are still alive?

As I said, I mistrust your sample. I socialize with
pilots and non-pilots.
How many pilots do you socialize with?


I don't socialize at all. I rely on studies with sound
methodologies rather
than anecdotal personal experience.


Which would explain your armchair "knowledge" of aviation,
not to mention human behavior and life in general.

It also suggests why you don't socialize - who wants to hang
around a know-it-all who doesn't know it all and doesn't
even know that he doesn't know it all?


Himself and his Josie and the Pussycats action figures?
