There is virtually no difference between the current General and
Technician written exams.


That's funny... there are 11 questions in the Technician question pool
on TOWER SAFETY... and there are 0 questions in the General question
pool.


Perhaps everyone believes that if you have a license you actually
know something.

Apparently, recent Technicians know MORE than recent Generals, in
regards to your litmus test issue of TOWER SAFETY.



Uh, don't look now, but each new recent General has to first take the
enty level Technician examination. Since tower safety is a basic
requirement for any class operator it is tested on the basic test.
Wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to ask the same questions on both
tests, so the General examination does not repeat the same material.
Kinda puts the lie to your assertion about "virtually no difference"
though, doesn't it!



With all kind regards,

Still fighting the LOSING battle with non-logic, I see.

What Hans said was not only logical, but 100 percent correct. I took a
Technician's exam, then I took a General exam, then I took an Extra
exam. All three were needed to get to Extra. And the tests were quite
different.





Man! Don't you fools have ANYTHING better to do with your lives?

And yet you come in here and argue with us. Welcome to the fold.



Don't look now, but there's only a few of you left... progress WILL be made.

Your progress is defined as what? Progress for me is increased knowledge
and improved skills, while for you it appears to be allowing Technician
tested people to have what were once General tested priveliges.
