I am an American currently working in Europe and I spent about 1 year of my life trying to get the JARs and Working Permit to fly here and none has ever said to me "Your a Foreigner get the out".
You should concentrate on trying to help the US AIRLINE INDUSTRY and maybe RAISE the BAR for your company or fellow collegues instead of throw all these stupid comments out regarding foreigners, if your idol is Hitler your about 66 years late.
I find it more sick that you accept wages like 20,000 US dollars to fly a plane around .. work on getting that fixed.
PS- Great first post, you have made us all proud.
I don't accept low wages, have Hitler as my idol or am an idiot or fascist. Just frustrated at the system and at the guys that are driving the pay down by doing what you said, accepting jobs paying 20K a year, or worse, paying to fly to build time.
It;s sad when you spend so much on a college education and flight training, then years flying and building time to see your airplane sold and be out of work, while across the boarder they are hiring but not unless your a citizen with their license - and to convert you basically have to start over with private thru commerc/multi/instrument..not cheap...and at least a year to do. Yet foreigners can come into our job market with much less expense and hassle to convert their licenses. You can't argue it, its a fact. And as far as harping on me about changing things, is that why you left to fly overseas?
You said you converted, what did it cost you in money, and who paid, you?
