tinstaffl...thank you for understanding

cityflyer...gosh you europeans are different than us . We just answer the question. Like one guy said, I probably have more time in the flare than you have time!

spicejetter...integrated and modular are just terms for the same thing we have here in the USA. But England and the USA are seperated by a common language. You say things like REHEAT and we say AFTERBURNING/afterburner.

We say YOKE and you say SPECTACLES.

why not call the whole thing off? (music cue).

You say circuit and we say traffic pattern. If I said: I had a problem in the circuit. I would expect my friends would understand it was an electrical problem. I would say vaccuum tube and you would say valve.

But I do know that places go out of business without refunding your up front money from here to timbuktu. I know one poor kid in Nevada who put up 5000 US Dollars to get a ''deal'' on Seneca ONE time. Two weeks later, the plane crapped out and he couldn't get his money back. TWO huge mistakes...seneca ONE, and putting money up in advance.

And to the guys who say US licenses can't be used in europe...that may be true....but we have the jobs!

I just asked a question...slang terms aside...trying to communicate is your duty as a pilot.

by the way, I don't think you can even take the ATP writtens in the USA without having the full 1500 hours (in specific areas). I remember having my log book audited by the FAA to allow me to take the written. Of course this was in prehistoric times . You know...NDB approaches, no autopilot and having know how to enter holding all by yourself without a box to tell you what to do.

advice:

don't pay up front for LIFETIME dancing lessons
don't pay up front for orthodontia
don't pay up front for flying lessons.

pay as you go.

and don't buy the brooklyn bridge
