> Who do you want flying when things go bad? People who have spent many hours with things about to go bad (military, emergency/fire, sail plane pilots) who have experience dealing with it. Those people can also be fun/terrifying to fly with, because they will take risks.

Maybe. Or maybe you're better off with freshly trained people who still remember exactly what to do in all the failure scenarios. Certainly I've generally felt safer with drivers who'd just passed their test than with people who've been driving for years, for example.
