Alex, Yes, Im aware of this, having owned five flight schools and helped many ex military to ease their way into civvy street. Many years ago I had to obtain a Brit ATPL along with a few others to fulfill certain contracts, I got a chuckle out of one guy studying with me, he had to take time of from class as he was flying the GG on a country wide tour in the C5 VIP aircraft {The piston C5 , not the new one} He still had to write those exams like the rest of us, what a joke. By the way a certain Comonwealth country didnt want to credit any of my time claiming that a 37,500lb twin jet aircraft was not relevent! Turned out the guy behind this was a failed RNZAF pilot, go figure.
