John,
Define 'qualified' as pssing the FAA's touted Flight Check every two years. This is just a complex airplane, imho.
It has been improved, for example, with vortex generators. More improvements are certainly possible.

Just wondering how he reaches the conclusion that we are, as a group including the accident pilots, very qualified when no evidence supports it. Without even getting into the judgment issue, where all of the evidence suggests that the group referenced above is woefully deficient, Jeff's statistics show beyond any doubt that inadequate qualification in type is the most obvious common trait driving the accident statistics.

Technology is a marvelous thing  but it is not a substitute for training or judgment.

(I do wholeheartedly agree that the word "fraught" is apt, however.)
