Cool story bro?

But I then think the question is begged - how does one GET experience? It's like the entry level job or even internship that says "requires 3-5 years experience."

Also how do you quantify SUFFICIENT or APPROPRIATE experience and for WHAT PURPOSE?

Do you want a guy with 3,000 hours towing a banner VFR along LSD in Chicago? Do you want a 1,500 hour pilot who did night IFR single pilot box hauling?

The fact that this except says that risk is inversely proportional to experience is the most naive, simplistic and most likely useless statement. Even in my pre-coffee stupor, AF447 comes to mind and I am sure there are millions others.
