Americans have faired just as well any other nationality. Some may feel hard done by, but that's across all nationalities.
There are American captains sat very, very high up on the seniority list.

I remember talking to a Cathay pilot on a van once, he was Canadian.
I asked him if it was as hard as they say, as well as if they might have slight disdain for Americans. His reply was;
"Well, you have to understand that the British think they invented flying, as well as the 747. Also, we Canadians were glad when they started hiring Americans, because it got them to stop being such A-holes to us".

And then
There's the Aussies! I have heard that THEY are the worst to fly with AND that accent.
"Lock yourself in a broom closet with the crocodile hunter for twelve hours and see what it's like", was what I was told.

Yeah, that Leonardo DaVinci guy was from Staten Island, right??
First in flight is different from inventing.

You've heard wrong mate. Great bunch of people to fly with. Good sticks too... and this is first hand experience. Kiwis are a great lot too.

After almost 6 years flying for Virgin in Oz, I got the distinct impression that while the Yanks may have invented flying, the Oztranaughts perfected it......����
Papoo, you've probably been with CX since sometime in the 2000's. Trust me, before that in the 70's, 80's and 90's the sentiment was very different.

+1 For Aussies being the worst group to fly with as a whole.
From personal experience.
All of them? Of course not. As a group? I'd rather fly with pretty much anyone else. Sorry, mates, lighten up a touch in the cockpit...
