Hopefully with the ratification of EASA/JAA this year, FAA pilots and N-reg aircraft will not be able to fly in Europe freely as they do at the moment - and I welcome it…!!
I suspect the EU carbon tax scheme will do more to cause non-European carriers to pull out of Europe than any EASA/JAA ratification. What does EASA have to do with "open skies" or "freedom of flight" treaties?
