I wasn't thinking of the graduation. After the pilot graduates, he flies. A
good pilot is someone who flies well even years after doing what is necessary
to get a license. The same applies to drivers of cars, doctors, lawyers, and
so on. It's one thing to pass a test; it's another to stay competent and/or
perhaps improve over long periods. Instructors have no control over that.


Anything you say Anthony. I've reached that point where it's time to say
I'm not interested in changing your opinion.
