If any pilot can satisfy both Company AND Country employment requirements and get a good job - then good luck to him/her no matter where the job is. Remember the law is the law.
Sure, 1989 in Oz was bad for those involved. Some stuck to their principals and some didn't.
I have no problem with anyone(almost) working legally in any Country for any Company. Fortunately I work for a small company that utilises existing employees when vetting applicants, I have no problem with that.
Therefore whatever critera J.R. wants to use (blue eyes, red hair or ....) to vet his employee's is up to him. You all can talk about it but it all means zip.
Have a nice day.
