Here's a statement for the idiots on the other board.  Does anyone really think that the FAA would design a certification program that would train PILOTS, complete the training, and then have them standing around for weeks or months without getting the certification completed so they could go do the job they were trained to do as rapidly as possible.  Nothing is worse than a stale pilot.

The intelligence level of the Jack***es at the other site overwhelms my sense of being civil.
