No, they wouldn't be included but there was a highly skilled 59-year old who recently (as the pilot-flying) went off the end of the runway in Midway & had to have his "jet jock f/o" deploy his TR's for him (as per their story).Jim Smyth said:Well since current Professional Airline Pilots cant fly past 60 they wouldnt be included in that report now would they? General aviation has always been and will always be way more dangerous than Airline flying with its many layers of protection. The maintenance isnt there plus the skill level isnt there with usually a single Pilot operation. Besides, we have super Co-Pilots like Triple "BBB" to keep us out of trouble.
On another note, the Undaunted Flyer wants to compare the risks of flying past 60 to India but why stop there (when using India for contrast) & not include their human right violations, executions, & torture? Just because it's OK to rape a detained women in India, it is not & will not be so in the ole U.S. of A. Likewise, comparing the fragment of the infrastructure of Mexico without regard for the rest of their culture would not be equitable. There might be much more interconnected to this change in the U.S. than elsewhere (such as the retirement funds, as has already been beaten to death in this thread alone). Rhetoric is still a good bludgeon to continue to silence the criticism.
