The difference is there is a much longer and complicated procecess to get a green card in the US versus foeign pilot contracts overseas. While its tough to see news of US pilots suffering from protectionism, its just not how our economy operates. Laying off foeign workers before Americans would seriously deepen the problems in our economy but would also seriously affect its recovery.
I mean really, we all know non-citizens who work our companies. Would you tell them to their face that you would rather see them laid off out of seniority just because they are not American?
