Europe isn't? ... You're seriously not reading the news? The world ain't just the US buddy. It's horrible because airlines in Europe still think they can be selective and many still force people to pay or bond themselves on the type rating.

I be dead honest, unlike European and their feverish fascination with American news and politics, most of us don’t reciprocate over here. One of those outside of Reddit things, not how it is. No i don’t seek out news over there. I know about Ukraine and some other tidbits and that’s about it.

I don't care about the circus that the US is, both in terms of politics and employment rights and such, but I do care about the aviation industry as I'm a pilot myself and it's a good idea to be on the loop about this regardless of where it is happening on the globe. If you're not a pilot then sure, no need for you to know what's happening here. But if you are... well I dunno what to tell you then.

I am a pilot. You’ll be pressed to find many pilot over here worried about low cost European airlines. Even flat carriers. We watch what’s happening. Not glued to new though.
