Yep. All this EASA Vs FAA / UK Vs US stuff is getting old, it needs to stop already. They got what they wanted for the most part, with almost no-one from Europe going to train stateside now so there's no need to rub it in. I suspect that they might know a little bit about flying in the United States, dunno why really - I mean it's not like it's a country with a long history of aviation achievements or anything - just a hunch I have.
