What a load of absolute rubbish!!
I can tell the lot of you that American pilots are as good if not better than many of the so called expert Brits and Europeans.
Having spent 7 years flying in the United States I found the level of professionalism and overall competence of many pilots to be without question of a very high standard.
Lets not forget that unfortunate UAL crew that had to fly an aircraft without hydraulic power into Sioux City a few years ago. Its widely acknowledged that this particular AMERICAN crew handled the situation brilliantly. Simulator tests subsequently showed that the aircraft was virtually uncontrollable.
This horsesh@#t nonsense about who or what system produces better pilots is something that only serves to demonstrate the fact that many pilots and not just Americans have a serious ego problem.
There are countless examples of absolute stuffups by crew from all parts of the world. The Brits have killed their fair share of happless passengers over the years.
So wake up and smell the coffee we are all as bad or as good as one another.
NB: One notable exception is Australia, where there have been no jet fatalities in its entire history of commercial aviation.
The only fatalities occured on some British designed and built aircraft that had a nasty habit of shedding wings. Viscounts is what they called them!!
So lets get on with the business of aviation and respect for one another, and leave the pissing contest alone!
