Wind up alert

Guys - for once can we ignore the wind up?

If we were to assume that this guy is for real, Dragun has done a perfectly adequate job of shutting him down.

Assuming (as I do) that this is a wind up, then anybody else who chimes in hasn't the "sence" to assess their own knee-jerk reactions before hitting the keys.

By way of getting back on topic - if you were to get a call without an IR, I suspect the flight/sim check would be conducted in similar fashion to the QF Level 2 Cadet program - ie. a flight test to CPL standard including basic IF and UA recovery. Of course that's just speculation, but I can't see much point in conducting the normal sim ride for someone who has not been trained as an instrument pilot. Perhaps they will conduct flight testing in a GA aircraft???
