US & stupid are like peas in a pod...
and your nationality is..?
Hmm, interesting.. does that include the Wright Brothers..?
2 examples quickly spring to mind.... NDB's and GPS.. the States are light years ahead of UK.
Where do some of the major integrated UK schools send you for initial training..? Is that not the US, with US instructors (mainly)..?
And over there, you will never find a 200 hr 21yr old in the RHS at an airline.. worrying..!
