And to turn around your scenario, you could say there's an incredible amount of "almost" scenarios with majors/legacies, LCC's, freight companies, whatever that we DON'T heard about as well.

Still stand by my point, the higher experienced pilots can kill people just as well as the lower experienced. Hasn't changed.
