Most Yank haters are insanely jealous of the type of contracts the US posses and the hourly wage to go along with the contract. You will be hard pressed to find any of these haters able to admit their jealousy.
On a recent URL to the states I had to listen to;
fully established on the ILS
fully ready for push and start
re-reading the PDC to clearance delivery

Emirates two one six all through the states.
Cleared direct Charlie Zulu India instead of Crazy Women.
As you can imagine we are a big hit in the US when we do this kind of crap.
So I ask these posters should we knock you haters down to a 2 since your communications is sub standard especially for the US? After all when in Rome...
It is real simple, if you don't like the way the US does things THAN DONT BID TO FLY TO THE USA!

Deal with it!
