But I tell you being a wannabe pilot in North America is the toughtest thing in the world. If you consider European and Asian pilots who are trained by their own airlines and work for life there compared to here where it is all on you to graduate the programs on your own dime with no guarantee of a job.
I wouldn't agree on this, because these guys you talking about are selected few with engineering degrees and pulls hired from a pool of thousands. They are the lucky ones. I figure the rest of the average Joes over there probably have less chance than most of us here in America. I'm originally from a small European country, I wouldn't have a chance in hell to do there what I can do here unless my brother is a president. Grass is not greener over there trust me
