What's the problem? Get a BFR and fly on. Maybe they will have it sorted
out in two years.

That's basiclly the same thing that I've been thinking.

There's really nothing wrong with the wings program, and it has a lot of
outstanding virtues--for example, it gives pilots, students, and anyone who
might be interested an opportunity stay more current on both services and
regulations and also a friendly environment to ask questions about any
procedure, service, or regulation.

OTOH, the BFR issue has always been amusing--if you attend the prescribed
number of wings seminars and also fly a little more with an instructor than
the BFR would have required; then you don't have to separately fulfull the
BFR requirement. In other words, you would only accomplish twice as much
continuing education with the Wings program than without it and would [have
ben] permitted to split the BFR ride into two annual segments instead of a
single bienial segment.

It's still an excellent program, even if it has actually changed.
