It amazes me the scumbags this industry attracts. Do other industries say that as well? Are there just an exorbitant amount of scumbags on this planet, or is it just in aviation?

It is indeed the Harley Davidson sportster of jets yet supremely unforgiving if operated carelessly. The NTSB database is full of multi-thousand hour 20-30 series Lear pilots no longer with us.
