By mid-2000, some major newspapers were responding to the threat. They banded together to launch regional classified Internet listings that duplicate the classifieds in their newspapers. People who buy classifieds in most of these initial offerings pay a small surcharge to have their copy included in the Internet listing as well as the print version. Almost all of them elect to pay the surcharge. In my seminars, I chart fatal accident rates for commercial airline pilots.
Young pilots have a relatively high rate.
But then accidents drop to almost zero until pilots have a lot of experience. Then the crash rate increases. Not because they re old. Because they re successful. They ve become complacent.
