I thought we were talking about how to improve the safety numbers for GA?

More and or better training = better safety numbers. The Military knows it, the Airlines know it.

They've done studies you know...

Yes, the increased time and money required for more training in the GA world will drive some people away. Perhaps they are the ones having the accidents?

I always approach my required annual recurrent training with an open mind, hoping I will learn something new every time, and I usually do. There are those who fight it. There are those who think they don't need it.

Those are the guys I worry about.
