It is much easier for a citizen of just about any other country to get a job in America, than an American to get a job in just about any other country.
The USA is very generous with permitting foreign work and make the process relatively easy, compared to other countries.
I know from experience.
True, but that is what makes this country the greatest integrated social experiment in the history of humanity and that shouldn't be criticized but rather praised.
What I find Ironic is the indignation that some are expressing here because back up a few years and the American ex pat pilot population world wide was negligible; take Japan for example, when I started working here 4 years ago you would be hard pressed to find a single American pilot here but now I don't remember when was the last time that I met a new pilot from anywhere else but the US. But now that the resumes are numbered in the thousand world wide all of a sudden there are many cries of injustice due to being discriminated against. Funny how things come and bite us in the derriere because prior to 9/11 any employment abroad was unthinkable and not up to our high standards and now we are even taking jobs in third world countries and complaining as to why the red carpet isn't rolled out for us.
