Green Penguin, you've simply no idea what you're talking about.
I bet you think guys that go to Oxford to do an integrated course are the bees knees. I recon around 80% of their flight training is done in the States....so what can you say about that?
I did my initial training (where arguably the bad habits begin), followed by hour building etc etc in Florida. About to jump to the left seat of a B738 shortly....training in USA didn't do me any harm other then meeting my wife haha
Yes you can have a bad instructor here and there, but generally the level of pilot, students turn out to be is down to them, no one else is to blame!
