KC,
Your analogy is dead on...pretty funny too.
I personally think it is ludicrous for someone to be able to go to the field with...say a H9 P-51 or the like and get a turbine waiver with it. How do you demo a turbine start up? How do you demo proper use of safety equipment? It's completely ridiculous if you ask me. How do you show proficiency with turbine lag? It simply can not be done.

as a waiver CD i won't sign you off unless the flight is accomplished on a turbine powered aircraft...
...it'd be like giving someone CDL after testing with a bicycle with a little red wagon pulled behind it.
