richpea - I didn't say that the system wasn't flawed - to be fair to EASA, they are working with a system that was instigated by the JAA, and who should hang their collective heads in shame (the only country that sent actual pilots to the committees was the UK), but we still have a system where even the schools don't know what to teach because they only have learning objectives to work with - they have to write their own syllabuses.
The way these twits have set it up, you can't blame students who hit the banks - although we all know it's wrong. Given that it was all started by non-pilots, it's no surprise to learn that they are non-teachers as well.
