Come on J3,
I'm a sock puppet and only a few hours old so I had to lie about my age.
The bloke with his hand up my bum said to tell you he's not interested in pretending to have a CPL and just likes flying around with an RAA certificate because it provides what he wanted. He reckons that CTA might of have been of some use, but certainly not essential and not worth jumping through hoops to get a PPL for. But that's just his opinion.
Contrary to what a couple of other sock puppets would have you believe, GA and RAA can play nice together. Just have to weed out the idiots and egos.
CYA
