Thank you TCI. I could not agree with you more.
People like 411A will likely call me "un-patriotic", but I don't see anything "un-patriotic" about criticism. I love this country which is why I choose to live here, but that does not mean I need to be one of the herd that follows and agrees with everything that comes out of Washington DC. Someone who is truly Patriotic will criticize what they believe to be wrong and speak or do things which they think would better their country. I actually think that all those Americans who are simply saying "we are the best" and bashing all other countries and not standing up for what they know is the right thing to do are being very un-patriotic by doing a dis-service to their country. If more Americans had been openly against the war I think there could have been a chance that we would not be in the huge mess that we are in now.
I am very much looking forward to the upcoming elections and finally getting this monkey (no dis-respect meant to monkeys) out of office. Most Americans have had enough and will hopefully make the right decision this time around.

Well I guess I need to put my 2p worth in. The US is on a continuous path to increase their perceived security, we cant blame them for that. However, if the rules are unbalanced they have to be addressed. This is clearly the case as I know of several Americans who are based in Europe flying the "N" and do not have work permits or residence. I do not have any specific problem with this, I have worked all over the world, but if no one brings these things to the attention of the European authorities we are never going to enjoy a reciprocal regulatory environment in aviation. The US government will only respond to their own taxpayers complaining to them, if they respond to anyone that is. If our American cousins see Europe tightening up in a similar manner to the US, and they suffer in the same way, maybe we can see some mutual progress. Getting recurrent done and dealing with the TSA, not to mention getting a new visa (now you cannot do it by post) is going to get worse, maybe 411A works for the Fed's? (no, they could not have any use for such a moron) We have to urge our respective European governments for reciprocity and not accept our jobs being taken by non Europeans whilst we are not able to do the same. The laws are in place, we have to make sure they are observed.

Although i must agree whole heartedly that its not fair, since when has a 'tit for tat' fight ever got anywhere ? Wouldn't getting rid of this senseless timewasting be soooo much better for all !!
Could someone please explain just exactly what spending all day in line and paying £ - $s for a stamp in your passport really proves to anyone anyway.
