It is time that the EU says no to the ever growing dominance of the American cargo airlines in the European Express freight market.
I am getting sick and tired of hearing every night more and more yankee cargo pilots on the ATC frequency.
In return, we never ever have a chance to operate in the US ourselves.
EU commitee, do something about this! The open skies agreement has to be changed as soon as possible.
If not, in the near future at least 300 European pilots and with the subcontractors many more will lose their jobs in favour of UPS and Fedex who exetnd their illegal practices in Europe more and more: flying cabotage and basing pilots with their families for as long as five years in Europe without paying taxes and/or social security in Europe.
