Then you are truly one of the lucky few... What lpokijuhyt says above about sums it up and even if you did find a seat you'd find Ts & Cs in the States a long way behind those offered in Europe... Vacation time is laughable. You'll find little or nothing of the safety nets we take for granted in Europe ( important if you're about to start a family).

From an employees point of view the US has a long way to go to catch up with Europe.
