All the threads on the OSH chaos confirm how easy it is for any fool to
get a ticket.

I think you don't understand what a "ticket" really is.

1: You should quote what you're replying to. Just a hint helps.

2: I'm not ragging on what you call it. ("ticket" is a perfectly fine
slang term for the pilot certificate.) Rather, I'm saying that, by your
comment, you don't understand what a pilot certificate =is=. It is an
indication that one has met =minimum= standards. It is a licence to
=learn=; emphasis on the fact that, even after one gets their ticket,
one is still learning. It is not by any means an indication that one
has learned all there is to learn about flying, that one is immune from
errors, lapses of judgement, or that one is superhuman.

Getting a ticket, then, does not make one immune from stupidity, and
should not be regarded as such. If we actually held people to those
standards before permitting them to fly, the skies overhead would be
very quiet indeed.
