I'm sure some may think it's not enough with validity but at least it's more than nothing, plus in 20 years you can have all the little wings as souvenirs of your flying years.

By the way, you can do some of the on-line seminars bypassing some of the boring talkers/interrupters.
Sorry, should have "multi-quoted".

First, the "second level" no longer exists with the new system.

Second, we were told at a recent FAA safety meeting that unless you are participating in WINGS or an equivalent (I think it was "industry safety program") you cannot get any leniency in a violation action. They showed us the rubric they have to follow if there's an incident/violation. Specifically stated that they can't do it unless you're involved in a safety program.
