FAA getting fed up with JAA intransigence

Unless it's going to be an ego-trip, WWW's book should have lots of useful information but, if his postings are typical, would suffer from a lack of the reasoning and rationality essential to correct conclusions.
Things will only become better and cheaper because of competition for the rip-off regime in U.K.-that's why BAe and numerous other organisations are now training abroad.
Any validity in WWW's opinions on training abroad (and I agree there are anti- as well as pro- points) is discredited by his abuse and anti-Americanism. That may be moderated if/when he gets off short-haul or, hopefully, the publisher.
There are 'poxy' schools in every country, so why stereotype the States and Florida in particular, with Uncle Sam-ist rubbish? It's just as bad and useless as the blasts at Dagoland or Frogs or **** , from the silly little Englanders. Also, anyone who is, or poses as, a Welshman ought not to give others easy opportunities to identify any of the, allegedly, typical traits.
There is no evidence of a 4day PPL being offered anywhere. O.K. it's impossible, a joke etc. but some Wannabes may believe WWW- an airline pilot who 'moderates'.

Hello Guys, just returned from the States only to switch on the computer and find this thread!
It is probably the first time I have actually read through every posting (took me half an hour!)
For my own two penneth, I chose to go to Florida for extra training not because of price but because I could get the task done in the time available without worrying about weather!
A problem that will always exist in the UK is the foibles of our beloved weather.
As for the quality of training this depends purely on the quality of instruction and instructors (something which is independant of country).
For my part I will continue to base my aviation purchasing decisions on requirement/quality/availability/convenience. This may or may not include flying in the UK.
This post is not meant to attack or defend flight training in any particular country. I am just suggesting that to have a choice might not be a bad thing at all.
Happy landings
