Of course I know when a Duplicate is required and who can perform one.
I don't know the Pilot concerned or his wife or their qualifications other than what I have speed read on this gossip thread.
My own "worries" have kept me alive since I have had a CPL / ATPL, 35 years, maintenance bills notwithstanding.
Since I said nothing else about the Pilot or his "operation" I consider that the rest of your post must be directed at someone else.
Tootle Pip indeed
