My point is that we really haven't had that many amercians for long enough to state with any surity the alleged anti us bias. I accept that some have failed on the freighter command course but isn't that true of all nationalitys? I know of a few aussie guys that failed their freigther command.
I will say though that the US aviation culture is quite discordant with the traditional CX culture. Maybe that has caused the anti american perception
I can believe that pure stats would cause most americans to fail out of upgrade, but a yank that's been with CX 10 years??? Surely 10 years of line flying would be ample time to adapt to the CX/British culture wouldn't you think?
Every country thinks they train superior pilots to every other, but if this sort of patriotic pettiness is stopping upgrades, I'm thinking of reconsidering.
