*chomping at the bit.

Ironically, China has also proven that you can't easily import expertise. At best, you can "steal" it over a long period of being the current industrial center's gopher.

Not sure what the original was (now edited), but it's actually "champing at the bit", historically.

Chomping is also correct enough today, descriptivistically speaking.

You're correct. Iteration is grand!

The film case is kind of wild.

Amazon, Netflix, et al. flew domestic crews to Europe to train their crews how to work. This wasn't unusual, because a lot of movies filmed on-location overseas. Nobody questions that. Par for the course.

Except they trained local crews how to do everything - they trained their replacements in person. And now there are no US domestic crew flights to Europe and Asia.
