So 476 applied?? This is not very good when you consider the whole of the 25 countries in the EU can apply plus all those in the "Colonies" with an EU passport.
In the "good" old days you had to be " British" to join BA now any Pierre ,Fritz or Ivan can apply. The price we pay for being in the EU and English being the language that most Pilots can get by with I guess.
Long Live UKIP!!
