No need to get personal here eng123.
I have worked with some unlicenced guys who are far better than I, and would trust their judgement anytime. I have also worked with some licenced guys who I wouldn't let change the batterys in my torch.
The dangers are the guys who just come to pick up a paycheck. They never see if you need a hand, never stay till the job is done, and don't care what they were on when the bell goes, they just pack up and leave. These are the parasites I'd like to see gone.
