airplane pilot would likely have accidents as well if put behind the
controls of an airliner with 5 hours or less of transition training.

How can this be possible, seeing as they have such a high level of experience over many years, in different weather conditions, during day and night flying, and in many different types of aircraft. It doesn't make sense that the most well trained, and safest (when piloting air transport aircraft) pilots have some of the worst safety records over all. Why has this been happening? How can these accidents be avoided /
