" Min. 100 hrs. Ride experience required.

Very interesting approach to ride pilots and safety. *I would rather
have a PP with lots of hours willing to get a commercial fly me than a
120 hour up and down wonder. *I thought we learned that lesson in
Hawaii a few years ago. *Especially flying in Southern Nevada where
thunderstorms can require a very good understanding of weather, flying
skills and judgment.

I think the issue is that private pilots tend to stay up too long. Up
and downers know how to get the glider back on the ground fast, and
aren't tempted to stretch the flight by lingering in lift.
