If you think the FAA are bad, I'd like to see how you Americans would react to EASA.
You have lower maintenance costs, lower flying costs, vastly more accessible licensing, common-sense thinking combined with a can-do spirit in most areas and sensible and safe airspace structuring.
We in the United States of EASA-land don't have any of those things.
So appreciate what you've got
