(I know tiniest fiddle playing for me) In my category, almost every trip was worth 8+ hours per 24hrs away from base. It is now about 6. That's a pretty significant QOL hit. I am sure in other categories they are affected in a similar way.

What any of this has to do with a pilot who couldn't do a stall recovery is beyond me.
