Ok - you got me there. Fair enough point I suppose. I'm all for safety, but I still have certain objections and criticisms although accept that my ignorance or inexperience in this area is perhaps showing here. But surely, you can see where I'm coming from nonetheless. I just feel that what I've learnt so far, and to my knowledge 43rd Airschool is THE best in S. A. so I also consider that I have been well trained thus far, has to be of some more value in the UK, than seems to be the case. Is this thus the same situation with all foreign training or licences. If so, I feel it should be more heavily pointed out somehow, somewhere, before people assume that heading off overseas will sort out the problem.
Thanks for talking this through with me nonetheless - it's been interesting to discover all is not what it seemed at first glance.
