Well said the above!
The Brit's (for which I am a proud one) seem to think that they re-invented the wheel when it comes to flying. Almost every day in the UK if somebody asks what licence I have, and I tell them FAA CPL Multi, it usually gets the raised eyebrows. Clearly they are thinking that I am not worthy and very dangerous! My usual reply to them is.......well they designed the Boeing, they built it, test flew it, perfected it and every day a U.S Captain safely navigates his way into Heathrow without killing too many people!
Sorry, I digress from the point of this topic!
