I would love to get my FAA ATP, one day I will. It is pretty dammed hard.
As I and some other's said, it makes not one bit of difference Of course there are those here that will tell you otherwise, but do they have jobs, did they find having trained in the UK for a CPL makes such a difference?
oh and Kag, Belarg is a VERY experienced pilot, I as a 737 driver, always read his post with interest. So why don't you go back in your hole. As for the moon shot, if it had not been for the skill of the American Astronauts, then there would never have been a Moon Landing.
Just a very Patriotic Brit, not a blinkered one.
