Here's the best part; they come to school in the USA, many for FREE on scholarships. Once they get the free higher education, they return to their own country to start up an engineering company, which then some American company will outsource the American jobs to, for 10 cents on the dollar.

Yep. We are literally teaching and training our replacements and competition. They come here and learn at our best universities/participate in RnD work, then go home and use it all against us.
US flight schools that do the training for asian and other foreign ab initio students fit in there as well. Let those foreign carriers foot the bill for setting up training in their own country, use their own atc services, etc.. Too expensive or too regulated?.....oh well.
