Aer Lingus currently employs pilots from:
Holland
France
Norway
UK (England, Scotland, N.Ireland)
Finland
Australia
New Zealand
USA

...probably others I'm not aware of, and more than one of each I might add. The more the merrier!
They also employ lot's of Paddies.
'Fraid you've picked the wrong target to accuse of racism. In fact I think you all misunderstood the origintor of the threads point...he's complaining 'cos he (a Paddy) didn't get hired...just because he's a paddy!! He obviously feels that all he (and the other Irish applicants) should have to do is turn up!
Well if that ain't racism, what is?
As far as I've seen no pilot in ALT 'dislikes' foreigners. Just as long as they can do their job and are good heads, that's good enough for the vast majority.
