You missed my sarcasm
Unfortunately I'm aware that people are buying their own ratings/jobs and as such degrading the working conditions of all.
Now if only the FAA would not be so stupid and start transferring type ratings, life would be easier. Considering most of the other countries have much higher training standards than the FAA anyways.
