NEDude - just to re-iterate, I never once said that I thought the EASA licence was superior but looking at the theoretical knowledge requirements, they're a million miles apart whereas the FAA licence is more practically based. Its interesting you noted that you think this is the cause of the statistics but what are the statistics based on? is it actually EASA airlines or on European airports? I should suspect due to our geographic location, if its based on airport incidents then it could be influenced by different airlines from afar flying in!
So how come youve ended up with all three licences? is there any restriction for holding multiple licences?
