The Americans wouldn't know what you mean by QFE, they refer to 'Altimeter setting ' which is your QNH.
Ironically perhaps, American Airlines was one of the last commercial air transport carriers to banish QFE to the history books, which they did after an MD-80 hit a ridge going into Bradley on a non-precision approach on a nasty night in 1995.
