Airline pilots and BFRs

[mach tuck]

So here's my question. I haven't had to complete a flight review for currency yet since I would take a checkride for a rating and 119 days later, a new certificate would come. My question is, if you just accomplish a flight review, do you get a new certificate sent to you, or just keep your old one?

A flight review is detailed in FAR 61.56. Minimum one hour ground instruction, one hour flight instruction. Upon satisfactory completion, a logbook entry is made. No certificate is reissued. You cannot 'fail' a BFR (biannual flight review), you simply continue to receive instruction until satisfactory performance is observed.

Earning a new certificate or rating, or successful completion of a phase of the FAA Wings program are two of several ways to satisfy the requirements of 61.56.

Do y'all just say "screw the single engine currency" thing? Do you have time to get in 3 landings day / night in 90 days in say a 152, piper, bonanza, etc? or is that something that you don't worry about anymore?
