Hmmm:
Sounds like you're heading for a great start in your syndicate..........
Yup, I agree that is a worry. Looking over my emails it seems that the examiner may not actually be in the syndicate, just a friend of the CFI. If that's the case I would have less reservations.
Anyway unfortunately it's all rather academic at the moment because unless I can get this matter cleared up I won't buy into a syndicate where I'm limited to UK only.
