Dear Turbo Prop,
I think perhaps I was being overly fastidious. It was late, (early), and just got back from a trip. My apologies, however, the gist of the comment still stands. The US and EU has two different philosophies, is training superior in one place or another? I do not think so, the CAA pushes academics and the FAA practical experience. Both include and exclude certain skills or task.
On a professional level, is there such a big difference between the two. I really do not think so. I do not think EU ATPL's are superior to FAA ATP's, nor the other way around, the accident statistics certainly does not support such a finding.
This may sound silly, but in the end we are all pursuing the same dreams and aspirations, so am somewhat tired of this argument, concerned "the better pilot".
Just out of pure curiosity, honestly, tell me how you use Doppler radar everyday. I have flown my fair share of old airplanes and have never seen one, much less used one, so just inquisitive!!
