Andy, YOU'RE the one spouting statistics and studies to support YOUR position. Since you're the one using them, roll 'em out or quit using them. I don't have to prove anything. It's your burden to prove your point.

You go ahead and search for data that says differently.
I have sat through several classes which compared accident data to number of hours flown. The graphs were similar in both military and civilain statistics.
Do you think that 1500 hours for an ATP is just another arbitrary number chosen by the FAA? No science behind it; they just pulled the number out of their skivvies, just like age 60?
