captjns, I am all for debate, but your logic isnt logical in your argument "Let’s assume that the individual logged a bunch of P-51 time in order to reach that magical 1,500 hour mark so they can obtain their ATP certificate."
How can that make the ATP of this imaginary pilot fake or not valid... maybe I am missing something (he/she might be a rich kid whos dad bought them a restored p51 to get th 1500hrs for all you know)
