I'm sure it is the same way in most countries. Unless you are a citizen or legally authorized to work you cant get a job. It happens in the US it happens on the other side of the pond so i don't really get the point what people are complaining about. I even think it's easier for US pilot to get a job overseas. If you are qualified you can get a gig INDIA, QATAR...and no citizenship is requiered. Can they do it the other way around HELL NO!
As stated before no US company sponsors a foreign pilot...therefore, whether you like it or not, the guy on the radio with the "different accent" from yours has " no different rights" from yours.

Times are tough for everyone, but i dont think it is right to insinuate it's because of the LEGALLY employed "foreign pilot"...get a better excuse.

oh....yeah...texaspilot, i don't think canceling visas (tourism???? ding ding ding!!!!!) and closing those flight schools that bring foreign students who will invest thousands and thousands of dollars in the country, and pay the salary of many many people is a good idea....dont you think?

just my opinion...
