Yet the money spent on a BRS would probably save more lives if it
were spent on training.

That is a certainty.


The portions of the posts providing supporting material for the above
assertions failed to reach my Usenet provider.

No doubt once pilots are trained to the rigorous standards applied to
ground vehicle drivers the accident rates of pilots will drop to the levels
seen by those drivers.


First, what the hell do ground vehicle drivers have to do with?

But there is lots of data out there that additional flight training
reduces accidents. I will pose as proof for that statement the fact that
an IR pilot will get a lower insurance rate than the same pilot with the
same total number of hours who doesn't have an IR.
