South coast, In a way we R on the same page here, what I cant understand is a guy doing all that time, doing a few ratings on mid turbo props and being signed out in his log book as proficient, yet it is clear he is not, why are the powers that be allowing this to happen? there are many great DE's out there that will fail you and take your license if you are not up to speed. What gets me is that for a price you can still go out there and "assure" your place in aviation despite the fact that your ability and training are comletely crap.
