Hobo,
What I actually said was...
The situation surrounding the Colgan crew and their extended time positioning across the country BEFORE operating their duty is mostly (though not totally) unique to the US.
which I think you will find does not exclude other countries from the argument, however in the US there are a majority of pilots commuting huge distances, be they LH or SH. This IS different to most other countries. I am well aware of UK LH pilots commuting from other countries but it is not the norm for most of us.
There are much bigger problems with FTL's than whether it occurs in other countries or not!
