Devil Flags of convenience

Yes. MyTravel has had B757's flying out of Helsinki, Finland as well as other UK carriers

I find it disgusting that these "Flags of convenience" aircraft and operators are allowed to operate out of Finland and taking jobs away from local pilots.
Furthermore our standards up in the north are much higher than UK CAA can maintain and that just rips my heart out.

And the worst thing is that all of this does nothing to contribute to our economy.

I am amazed that EU has, for quite some time, allowed UK registered orange coloured jets to operate around continental Europe flying between countries other than UK.
