But in his own example in the video, when it comes to a pilot dealing with severe and rare turbulence in the sky, if you had the option, would you rather trust a 6000hr pilot or a 100hr pilot?

To become a certified airline pilot in the United States, you need an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate, which requires a minimum of 1,500 flight hours. This total must include specific types of flights, such as 500 hours of cross-country time, 100 hours of night flying, and 50 hours in multi-engine aircraft
After you are certified you look for a job. Why would someone have 6000 hours of flight time before they got a job? I would think there would be something wrong with that person.

This is just another B.S. made up scenario.
