“I don’t know whether to be shocked or impressed.”

It is actually sad how low the bar is for a pilot’s license. I know a guy from Brazil that is scary to even listen to him talk about flying, yet, he is a pilot. The difference between a barely passable pilot and a competent one is staggering.

Did he get his license in Brazil? Getting a US license isn’t like getting a driver’s license there’s quite a bit of study involved. My instructor was ex-military and was very strict, he wouldn’t give a break to his mother, which is as it should be. Getting my A&P license was even tougher.
