Squakvfr you obviously work at Oxford - enough said.
Go visit a non integrated school which has to do things properly.
Most CPL/IR students I've had from Oxford can't land either. Before you comment on Oxfords pass rate - we all know it's high. We also all know that when they get to us, that they often need remedial training before starting other courses.

You've summed it up perfectly, by the way, manoeuvre, manoeuvre, being a commercial pilot IS NOT JUST about manoeuvres!! That's exactly why the FAA CPLs often lack in airman ship and captaincy!

It all boils down to the following anyhow:
would hold almost any properly trained FAA PPL holder
Anybody properly trained - unfortunately not many schools provide proper training anymore
I am pretty sure your FAA CPLs would convert but I'm just saying they are let down by a large majority of sub standard ones. Unfortuantely, both systems have a large number of sub standard ones - the FAA system compounded by the DPE un standardisation.

PS I look forward to receiving your paycheck in the mail
