And what about the tens of thousands of $USD that European FAA pilots have spent in the USA on training for licences? And in my case, also another $10,000 at SIMCOM? Along with plenty other Corporate guys who inject huge amounts of cash into the US economy every year for type rating and reccurrent courses? What about sales of Cirrus and other high value light aircraft that Europeans buy from the States? They sure wouldnt be buying them if they couldnt operate them IFR in Europe. I'd say the US economy benefits quite nicely from the current situation, or am I completely wrong?!
