Alright guys, sounds to me like you guys are insinuating that some countries produce better pilots than others. Now that is b#!@t.
I don't think this is an American issue, this is an experience and background issue. As we all know, a little while ago EK was not recieving enough applicants so they lowered requirements a bit. What is happenning is a direct result of that decision.
Due to the state of the industry in the US, the applicants on file now are alot more experience so there should not be any more issues with training.
Don't be affraid boys, the Americans are comming whether you like it or not. Its just a matter of numbers and the US is where the numbers are.
cheers
