Don’t stop by this forum that often but on the odd occasion I do I have several of this kind of thread – usually either starts by an instructor talking about the “inferior” training in the US to which there are several counter posts to claim otherwise or starts off by someone asking about training in the US to which someone makes this claim followed by all the subsequent posts etc. I recall seeing posts saying US trained pilots need 10 hours extra training on the radio, instrument rating in the US is inferior because apparently we do not have many NDBs 
, US trained pilots ride the brakes etc etc. Assuming that these posts are made by instructors being pissed off at the number of people going over to the US to fly I would have thought a better way to do this would be promote the benefits of learning at home rather than putting out posts like this.

Anyone read the thread about someone wanting to fly into Birmingham? Going to cost £70 in fees for a PA28...
It's no wonder that people like myself choose to fly in the USA... My trip to Philadelhia International cost me the equivalent of £20 and included use of the private terminal and a free shuttle bus to the main terminals so I could fly home....
