You can send your pilot to professional staff training:

That company in Iraq (we better call it school for the sake of realism) is stuffed with money. Don't worry about it. It's sole purpose is to
educate your pilots in emergencies, so you don't have to maintain its economics. They readily cover all the expences and damages on their
planes. If (when) it bancrupts, you form another one. (They have their calculus with the Ministry of education[wink-wink - we all know what
Ministry it really is] so no probs with the money here! lol)
Therefore, why risk your pilot's life in a cessna? Like Clay has said, take a multiengine plane - the bigger - the safer - the better!
Should we be able just to purchase the points? (N.B. - not the hours, you can't do that anywhere ; it's called bribe and forgery! )
Well... that would reduce this 'schooling' to making two clicks with a mouse. And that's not the point.
Beside, all such schools have what's called a 'practical exam' , no? And it does include a small risk for the pilot. Not a big one, but still ...
you don't feel just the same when you know you will have to use all your knowledge and make a controlled crash landing.
And finally, Dan wouldn't have to engage himself with more programming.
So I think it's OK like it is. The ONLY thing is that I wouldn't like to be able (like now) to earn huge amount of points. Or - a different approach
- the value of the pilot should then increase enough to discourage us from using this to extreme. (You can earn 50000 points, but you won't
have enough money to bring your pilot back which will than make it senseless)
