Bubba, you ask what my problem is with American pilots. I don't have a problem with most of them, but I do with a lot on here who adamantly refuse to accept that theirs is not the only way and that they should abide with others' rules and stipulations when abroad. You just made the point for me about US arrogance. Why is it that only Americans on here seem to have so much issue with everyone else's regulations, and why do only they seem to think flouting them is perfectly reasonable? As such superior aviators, surely you have the ability to read the charts like everyone else and the mental capacity to fly in accordance with them?
But once again for the cheap seats, the rules had nothing to do with this case - it was two idiots being gash. Of course, why accept that when you can try to apportion blame on procedures or regulations that had nothing to do with it, just because they were foreign.
