S.F.L.Y,
You have me convinced now. I think you should stop posting about the necessity to buy a rating, jut buy it and get on with business. In fact, dont stop there, buy 1000hrs linetraining and skip the boring useless step as F/O because honestly, who wants to fly as #2.
If your mind is already made up there is really no need to keep discussing. You are using the same arguments as on page 1, is it because you want to implement a new industry standard??
