Little known fact on getting your commercial tickets... there is somewhat of a loophole that allows you to at least do the checkrides, not necessarily the training.. here was my scenario

Got my instrument rating and immediately went to Action Multi Ratings in CT to get my multi (hence making it a Private Single and Multi Engine Land Instrument ticket)..
few weeks later, I took my commercial ride. I did most of the airwork in a Warrior such as the Chandelles, lazy 8's, and the works. Came back, jumped into a Seneca and did many of the same maneuvers and also proved compitency in the complex airplane, as per the PTS.

any thoughts on this? im running with a CSEL and CMEL right now, so apparently no issues.
