So, what you're saying, Olasek, is that it's OK for for FAA registered aircraft to be illegally based in the EU, pretending to be US based but having all their down time in a place like Luton or Farnborough, but it's not OK for a fleet of EU registered aircraft to even operate into the US, let alone be based there? That sounds like pretty typical US protectionism to me, just like the sloping paying fields made by allowing the US operators to fly under Ch 11 while making the competition jump through hoops. The EU should have banned all the US Ch11 operators and should be throwing out all these FAA registered bizjets, puddle jumpers and helicopters and levelling the field.
