...well, from the bottom rung of the ladder...
It appears the only people argueing the relative merits of either system and getting emotive about it are those that don't have to make the decision anymore.
From us starting out it's a very clear and logical choice..
Can you afford to learn under JAA, YES/NO ?
I'm from the UK, would like to learn and fly in the UK, but simply can't afford it.
The only affordable route open to me is the FAA one (which I don't consider to be second best, given the experience to be gained from a new location).
What I find surprising is how well the yanks take us going over there, and taking FI jobs.
It's little surprise they feel a little agrieved it's not reciprocated and I'm inclined to agree with them.
If it wasn't for the FAA I wouldn't have the chance to do this..and I'm willing as I'm sure all the other FAA/CASA trainees are, to take our chances round the globe finding work until we can come back, if we want to..
I've made my choices and will take my chances, same as anyone under any system - all it takes is a little thinking outside the box to find a way round it - skills that would be well learnt under any system
y'all have a nice day now
