Foreigners taking our jobs...
Here's something to ponder for ya... I'm a dual citizen, US-Polish (EU), yet no airline in the EU will even look at me because I do not actively reside there and don't have a JAA license, even if I were to get a JAA conversion I would still be facing an up-hill battle, as my 3000+ hours of experience is not on aircraft weighing in excess of 20 tons, therefore it is worthless.
I bet you if I showed up with DC-6 time they'd say it's worthless since it's not a turbine.
Dey tuk are jbzzz.
