Quite right Chuck a real pilot would just eat the fly sh!t and not bother trying to pick it out. And if accused of eating fly sh!t would deny it unless there was radar or RT tapes to prove it.
Unfortunately Chuck we have to iron out some of DFC's theory's or some poor sod will waste quite a bit of money thinking they are getting a service towards a license issue when they arn't.
The co-pilot thing for JAR wannabies has cost people thousands of pounds in these pay to fly as a safety pilot schemes. Perfectly legal under the FAA system completely useless under JAR rules.
