I already said my piece on the EU. I noticed that you said "There is nothing preventing Irish or UK pilots gaining employment in Europe." This my friend is not correct. How many Brits or Paddys do you know that speak Dutch, Italian, German or Spanish for example. People from these other countries must speak our language to gain employment in aviation with an airline and in fact most have been taught English from an early age in school in their home country. Now foreign airlines do occasionally hire pilots who do not speak their mother tongue but are usually expected to learn it which is reasonable. There are also numerous foreign airlines which require you to speak their mother tongue as a mandatory requirement. The fact of the matter is that there are far more foreign pilots employed by British and Irish airlines then the other way around. How many Brits and Irish do you see attending Alitalia, Iberia, Lufthansa, Air France interviews etc ? It is apparently obvious that this swells the pool which British and Irish pilots have to compete with thus making it more difficult to find a job. Anyone who cant see that is not being reasonable.
