DO NOT PANIC,
there are every years million of visitors coming to the US.
Some come to fly.So think now, all these tourists can not rent anymore an aircraft for 5 or 10 hours to enjoy a freedom sky.
What will happen? less money for the US, schools and manufacter...
It's not so much money!, I agree, but since the JAA-FCL, US schools have lost thousand of Students, since the 9/11 schools are loosings thousand of Arab Students, since the non ICAO validation license, they are loosing thousand of tourists and the list will continue until a certain point the congress will say:STOP!
just relax guys, The US have a lot to do right now, they have to clean the house and to start on new base.INS, FBI,CIA...some gov office like the INS can disapear in a couple of months.The FAA has to change things.
How do you will react if some stupid jerks take a B767 of british airways and crash on your big ben, or worse, on your queen palace...I am sure you will do the same thing!
when this happen (9/11)I was in the USA. It pissed me off!
so guys, be patient, new rules are coming and everything will be better for us, european pilots.
