How do you spell ignorance?
Look on every pilot job board and you as an american can work overseas. A lot easier than a foreigner coming to the USA. Fact is that unless you have a work permit or green card or a US Passport you cannot get a job here. Sure you can get a work permit if you are a doctor/professional under the NAFTA agreement but it doesn't include pilots.
The canadian work rules are the same as the US. You need the right to work.
The only way the US is being taken advantage of is that foreign countries are stealing our well trained pilots.
