So please spare the foreigners taking our jobs speach.
There are too many foreigners taking US pilot jobs. There is no shortage of pilots in the US and never has been since the 1960's. There are thousands of educated, experienced professional pilots on furlough but the airlines still collude with the government to issue work permits of various sorts to foreign pilots. This helps to keep wage pressures low.
Of course US citizens get no reciprocal rights overseas. I have no problem with any pro aviator working wherever they want to, but on a one-for-one exchange basis. Nothing against foreigners in the US, we have a long tradition of that, but only after we take care of our citizens.
