Well it should be hard, for as long as there are unemployed pilots in the UK (irrespective of whether they are rated or not). A standard condition of granting a work permit, is that the worker cannot be sourced from the domestic market (even if they need type training). All unemployed pilots should be onto the DWP and home office and nip this in the bud; I do hope balpa are on the case (some chance)!
