It sounds like the CAA has shafted us
Don't blame the CAA, they're a civil service with no real teeth or bargaining power.
Blame the current government who negotiated these terms, likely after being leaned on by UK operators who hire those foreign pilots.
The airlines simply wouldn't have wanted to sack them and have to replace them with UK pilots.
