Obviously a delecate subject
TRF4EVR, what an attitude! First of all, you would probably be unemployed if it wasn't for all traffic made by European pilots, secondly and thankfully, I am back home!
I'm flying helicopters so I'm mostly speaking about smaller general aviation airports. However, I find that the ATC at international airports work professionally while some controllers at smaller airports might have an attitude like TRF4EVR.
As a pilot, you don't need a RT certificate in the states while they take the radio procedures more seriously in the rest of the world. What about you guys in the towers; is it easier to become a tower-man in the states?
