No joke.
And Moonwolf, thanks for clarifying that. I think I was crossing up that one with the TSA requirement.
I understand exactly the point here, have been there myself...the FAA can't do much if the student met the PTS. But an ambulance chaser is a different story...I have refused to sign people off for that reason alone. The school just found a CFI who had no assets to lose
