After that point it had no bearing on who/what/when/where/why, but did explain the differences in philosophy of both training and certification with a fundamental impact on the theoretical possibility of an operation involving "dual qual".

80- you, yet again, tried to come to the rescue of shyguy, but were baited. Welcome to the party. Feel free to find material that you feel has any impact or response that would have any impact of the topic being discussed. Posting pictures of guys you google on the Internet does not bring anything useful to the forums that you moderate to bring pilots together to discuss issues that are currently being either deliberated or discussed.
