I have met a number of expats flying for a number of European carriers including BA, Ryanair, Easyjet, Futura, Wizzair... just to name a few.

The hardest hurdle was not the interview process with these carriers, but obtaining the work permit which was successfully obtained with the help of a reputable immigration attorney and a couple of $$$$$$. I guess Olympic, that is the gold medal... the work permit that is.

The expats who I know flying with these carriers have never felt any friction in the cockpit with their colleagues.

With that being said, Olympic needs to get his facts straight before running a poor Olympic marathon on the keyboard .

To the lads a BA… good luck with your negotiations.
