I'm European and this is a slap in the face to everyone else. I agree with Jan Brill, the Editor of the German aviation magazine that was mentioned in this bit.

Personally speaking, Canadian pilots are amongst the best. I have a Red Passport (UK - used to be blue) and i was frowned upon for not renewing it because apparently i would be missing out on all sorts of wonderful stuff. I knew better and i am just fine with my blue Canuck passport! Who the heck do these twits think they are!?

Prob has something to do with the EU tax crap with China not taking its orders with airbus and making new ones with boeing.
