BFR'd yet again...

I've been to a few, and collected one certificate, but I have this basic
question.

Why is Wings promoted as though it were an "easier" way of getting a BFR?
Flight review is 2 hours minimum, Wings is the program plus 3 hours minimum.
If you're appealing to someone who wants the BFR made easier, that's
backwards. If you're appealing to people who would attend the seminar
anyway, the BFR thing is unimportant.

Perhaps I'm missing this: you can have an instructor say "yeah, we've done
the 3 hours dual in the same time frame" if you're currently working on a
certificate - it doesn't have to be a separate ride. Yes?

You don't do the Wings program?

The Wings program is hardly worth the trouble.

I do the Wings programs regularly, but I don't recall ever sending in
for any stage. When I took the AirSafety Foundation/ABS proficency
training I did qualify for one phase of the wings program.

I've been attending since they started and don't think I have a
certicicate for even phase one.
