I was working at a US regional years ago, when I spotted an advert for KLM Cityhopper pilots, who at the time could eventually move up to the mainline. We had a young Swedish lad working for us, and I gave him the advert and asked if he were interested. Fire came immediately into his eyes, and, to my shock and amazement, he actually shouted, at top volume, "I'd never work for those Dutch bastards!" Others in the crew room were startled at his vehemence.
Ah, but on the other side, many Yanks think the old school British captains are arrogant. About 30 years I spoke to an Irish-American who held dual citizenship and was commuting to Bahrain, where he was a Tri-Star captain for Gulf Air.
"How do you like working there?" I inquired.
"Too many Nigels," he replied.
Rawther!
