Notice the numbers and notes for "Business Aviation". Mostly IR'ed, but
they fly a LOT.

The problem with this comparison is that there are a lot of variables.
There's the number of hours flown, the IR, the commercial cert, possibly
an ATP, the support staff, and probably other differences of which I'm
unaware. Any one of these would, I expect, help. Which helps more? I
don't see how we can determine that via this comparison.

Of course, the solution then is to do as many of these as possible. IR.
Commercial. Lots and lots of flying.

Like we need an excuse, right grin?

There is also a question regarding how much of the personal flying is
actually logged or reported. There is, to the best of my knowledge, no
requirement and little incentive to log much more than is required to prove
currency. Therefore, if it turned out that there was twice as much actual
flying as reported flying, then the statistic would not seem nearly as bad.
