Flyerfly:

What does that make the thousand of expats flying in the middle east, Latin America, Africa, and Asia? You can't have it both ways. It can't be ok for our guys to go overseas, but then flash the foreign card here in the States.

So here's an idea; how about reciprocating agreements instead of this foreign pilot narrow minded bull**** some of guys keep throwing around? If you're unhappy with the current arrangement write your congressmen, write the administrator, write your reps assuming you work for an airline. As I said before, you can't have it both ways, you can't knock foreign pilots for coming over here and applying to fly here as legal residents, while at the same time saying is ok for the thousands of expats to work overseas.
