Well, I am not going to kill what you said... I think it is great to see someone like YOU make a comment about it after almost going through it.
I have to say that I got a student right now that has taken he's PPL in Europe. And he says that he is so glad he came to the US to finish he's CPL/ CFII. Due to the fact that not only does he save allot of money, but also gain more experience.
The amount of flying aircraft in the US is so much more than in Europe. Radio calls, airspaces and air traffic.. And this also means more flight planning and situational experience.. (correct me if I am wrong)
There is so much more to pay attention to. (from JAA educated PPL)
I think it's so stupid to see that JAA and FAA pilots fight about who is the best.. It's not about that.. It's about making the system itself better for the next guy who wants to get a career as a pilot.
If I have to go through JAA exams, so bee it. But I will for sure try to make it better for the next.
