Didn't take long for this to turn into a d!ck measuring contest between Europeans and Yanks / cadets vs GA pilots etc.
The real question is not who's better, it's will it or will it not raise the standard such that it will stop the predations of these airlines that are making kids pay for "line training" schemes and / or paying their FO's sub minimum wages.
If yes, then surely that's something we can all agree on, and hopefully we can all work together to pressure the authorities in Europe to adopt it also, and try to make it a worldwide minimum standard sooner rather than later.
