In reponse

I understand that we are not all on the same standard however we all do follow the basics. And it doesn't seem right in my opinion that somebody qualified in Europe should not be able to transfer and re-train into a U.S facility and vice versa. I know that security items come into play and also being a citizen or not but overall what i'm getting to is that well any company or agency we shall work for well really has all the power to animate the puppet show in this case. For exemple on the pay we all receive and the hours we may have to put in because the facility we work at might have staffing problems. They can actually do whatever they want because where will you go? I know for ATC memebers in Europe well you don't have many chances if any at all. And well overall i'm a bit bitter because the problems in the U.S can easily be encountered in Europe since most ATC agencies are under goverment budgeting i believe.
