You know it's funny what you guys are saying about American girls, way back in 1999 I was part of a group of 6 young CPL/FIs from New Zealand, who all went to flying school together. Times were hard finding jobs in NZ, so we all kind of simultaneously found ourselves with the same plan of going to the UK on "working holiday" visas (which are pretty easy for kiwis to get).
At the time, we all kind of had the intention of padding our logbooks for a couple of years and then heading back home down under.
But life happened as it does, and every single one of us ended up falling in love / getting married to a Brit. 15 years later we've all got British passports and kids now, every single one ended up flying heavy jets in the UK (although a couple have now moved on to Emirates and Cathay).
