The list goes on, high hours doesn't make someone a better pilot. Its all about the quality of those hours and how you got there. I know someone who is flying 121 who has NEVER been in icing and flies mostly in VMC. Does that make him a better pilot because he has a lot of hours flying an autopilot with a FMC?
And oh wow, you were a flight instructor so that makes you a better pilot? What about the pilot I know who never did primary flight instruction but rather BFR's, IPC's, and commercial certificates? He isn't prepping people for solos.
I would rather fly with any of the pilots from the accidents you mentioned over you simply because of your attitude. You are in for a rude awakening. Grow up. You don't belong in the same room as any of the pilots you are comparing yourself to, you are a trainee who hasn't turned an engine yet. I know someone who played ball with LeBron James in high school but he sucks at basketball. I just ate at a new restaurant and paid 10 bucks for a burger, but the cook only worked at McDonald's for a week prior and the burger sucked. Your attitude is the reason people get ****ed at the "wonders." I've tried to back people like you in previous posts but now I feel like I put my foot in my mouth. I hope you make it through and I hope you have your come to Jesus, see the light experience, but I sure as hell hope my family isn't on your plane. Your attitude is whats wrong with the "wonders." 500 hours doesn't flying to Key West (which by the way is nice most of the time and when its not I guarantee you didn't fly near any clouds) doesn't make you Chuck Yeager, be humble and be ready to learn cause it'll happen fast when you least expect it.
