Because you don't think you can go work in Europe? I'm just curious, did Nidal Malik Hasan have the same security screening that you had? Yes, we are all so much safer with American pilots. Totally absurd argument to back your opinion. It holds no water whatsoever.
Don't get your panties in bunch. I merely stated preference should be given to US citizens. Nothing prevents legal residents from becoming citizens first and then try to get a job as an airline pilot. There's nothing absurd about this idea as it is being done already for many positions in the US. You must be another one from somewhere else with an entitlement attitude. Just because the concept does not appeal to you does not mean it is not logical or preferred by most Americans. Makes perfect sense for most people I talk to.
