So really if our future is really so pre-ordained by the powers that be in Europe, then there is not a thing we, AOPA, or anyone else can do about it.....So we may as well take IO's advice and just "wait and see" just in case the soothsayers are wrong.
If the **** hits the fan, at least I know EASA can't touch my FAA ratings, and if I can use them in Europe, all well and good, if not I'll just go to America every two months and spend my money there.....
