I do love a good slanging match but if we could keep it about the thread and not air your various unfounded petty insults that would be fantastic. Inane comments about each other are really a thing for the playground don't you think!
End Rant
As per the rating argument, we live in a world where unfortunately that seems to be the way forward. I believe some have already broken it down as to the differing ways to go about it but the reality is that most are doing it: FR, EZY, ex XL, TCX, J2, Baby and Fly Be just to name a few. I am sure you can all add more to this list. I woul have loved to live in a world where you could be given a rating but alas such was the way when I completed my training!
To the thread, unfortunately IMO I think it will take a huge number of resignations/command upgrade rejections to make an impact on this bunch!
Enjoy anyway and happy days to all.
