still waiting for flight.... so will respond.
if you read my response I very largely agreed with your post, although you do come across as rather frustrated/bitter...?
anyway as I have passed FAA & CAA ATPL exams albeit some 20 years ago there was no comparison. e.g. I studied the answers for the FAA exam in one day & took the main exam in less than one hour..!!!
I have lots of buddies here in the US who are AA Capts & I am not denegrating them or any other nationality of competency or ability.
But for you to accuse eg BA Capts with 10000 hrs going off to Hungary to obtain a CV is patently ridiculous.
feel free to pm me & I will talk to the director of flight ops so you can pop in for interview tell him of your allegations because I am sure he would bin any pilot with dodgy credentials, & then possibly you might obtain one of those " gaddafi uniforms"...!!
good luck with the Lycoming.
