You are the big bad flap so let me ask you this. How many 500 hours type rated pilots have been in aircraft accidents? Yet its unsafe? So let me guess you are thinkin well it hasn't happend yet. Lets look at this in another aspect. How many drivers below the age of 20 get into crashes and kill themselves or multiple people? What is it now a days? 20 hours to get your drivers license? How does this kid deserve a license? Well they passed a test right? So do the type rating guys. If they can go up on an FAA check and they can pass then they deserve that typerating.
