He has nowhere near enough data points to justify a comment describing
"all" charter pilots.

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.

I wouldn't say the entire population, but I would want a sample size
that gives me at least a 95% confidence level! :-)

Which would be less than a thousand people, randomly selected.

So, Jay, have you dealt with a thousand charter pilots ... randomly
selected? :-)

Nope, I've only dealt with the smart ones who have persuade their
bosses to let them stay with us...

Chuckle. Apparently, none of them are from the FBO where you visited
recently. :-)

Darn, I hate to jump in here. Most amazing thread on people that are
supposed to have a common interest. But, "entire population?". Is that
what the Nelsen folks do in their surveys? I suspect not. They take
statistically relevant samples.

Well he didn't say charter pilots never fill the tank, only when the
tank isn't filled, it is charter pilots.

You can equivocate about the meaning of his comment if you like. However,
to me it was pretty clear: charter pilots never fill the tank, and all
charter pilots are poorly paid.

He has no basis for making either claim.

You are putting words in his mouth, to support your argument; because it
suits you.
