Not sure about the rest of the world.

 

But US pilots are trained on how to work the wx radar, how to deviate from set course, talk to control ask for better vector around thunderstorms, and know how to turn the course knob on the ehsi and twist the heading bug.

 

I guess that's too complex a task for foregin pilots grasp on big jumbos they can barely manage.

Beware who you fly with when flying overseas.  Some just plow right thru no matter what wx lies in front.....

Right. This never happens to US carriers. Ever. You should probably slink back to your R-22 duma**

everyone knows we have better pilots, better aircraft, and better systems here in the US. 

Better chances you won't get killed on a US flight rather than some Keenome airlines out in bfe.

 

 

Lemee guess, you don't know how the wx radar works either...

Ever been there or do you even know where, how, and to what standards they're trained? You dont need to answer, your ignorance is showing and is obvious to those that actually know.

they are as well trained as US pilots?

When you start off with a language barrier right out the gates .....you are already at a disadvantage.

sure there are a few pilots who can fly well from foregin countries.  Many of them fly for us here at my Company.....but I can tell you they still write up dumb $#!t.

I'll take a US english first language, good ole boy born and raised in the US pilot over a top gun ace foregin pilot any day of the week to fly my bird.  Because I know he knows what the hell is going on and the limitations of the aircraft.

but not so much these days.  Standards may be the same, but not holding them shows eventually.

 Speak for yourself. I got my ratings in 1992. Nothing I fly now nor most of my years even has WX radar.

Singapore is frequently ranked the number one airline in the world by various sources. I've certainly enjoyed flying with them. A far nicer experience than any us airline I can think of, but that's just my take...
