Wow dick...... aptly named.. I take offence to your statement that the ME/CPL in the states, is to a lower standard than back in the uk. " Monkeys" you say, let me put the record straight, we do a ME/CPL in the States with three Amazing, let me say that once again Amazing JAA instructors, who teach the course to an exceptionally high standard.
We are then tested by the same examiner that does the Oxford crowed in Arizona, so if you are calling the ME/CPL in the States crap, you must be tarnishing Oxford with that same brush, which is some statement.
This site never ceases to amaze me!
