FAA (Whats the problem)
It amazes me of the arrogance of Europe that actually produces so little yet purports to tell organisations that are responsible for companies that actually make and operate not only the aircraft but most of the equipment and engines used in them.
All Europe does is to produce more and more paperwork to justify its existence,but as we know paperwork does not relate to safety or spanner time.
The people who make the rules have no knowledge of the operational value or their decisions nor care, as it is just a huge job creation excercise for the CRATS.
The FAA system encourages people to train and get qualified in a practical way and also sees itself as being part of that system.Europe has become a sick joke that supports bureaucracy over 'Hangar Time' and adds no value to the system. The FAA are like 'Snap on' they are at the coal face of the real world in aviation and operate a system that actually works.
