lf there`s one thing you can say about the yanks it`s that they know how to have a good scrap !
Sometimes misguided but always a good `un thankfully; no meally mouthed european pant wetting diplomatic nonsense.
Thats for sure. Guppy states a very eloquent case for what happens in the US with a robust GA sector and a FAA 1500 hour minimum rule for airline pilots.
But in Europe, with anaemic GA and the military pilots having record retention rates, the situation has become the norm where someone can be sitting in the FO seat with 200 hours. Does such a pilot possess adequate experience and/or airmanship?
