Hi Capt,
My Dutch residence permit allows me to work in Netherlands and travel all over the EU(multiple entry).The problem is that most Airlines that I qualify for don't have an operational base in Holland. I don't know how commuting works in this side of the pond. For example, If I get hired for a Belgian company, Though I can commute everyday to Belgium while maintaining residence in Holland, I will have to pay tax in Belgium which requires me to have working rights in Belgium as the company is Based there I assume, My Dutch residence permit Only allows travel to Belgium. So my family is in a tough situation.
