But what the chairman said is correct.
The fact that the US is easier to jump through the hoops is neither here nor there.
The US tax payer pays for alot of the things that as an individual you have to pay for in Europe.
And its not the UK system any more.
If they did change the system allowing an easy transition from FAA to EASA in one swoop would kill off alot of the European training system. Airlines in europe work on the fact there is an over supply of fresh meat out of the training establishments. If the schools go bust there will be a lack of supply which will mean that the industry will not be able to expand at short notice.
And BTW I don't like that last fact one little bit. But its just to point out how far reaching and who will be lobbying to keep the proposal.
