"Our Scottish friend used to work in Australia teaching said pilots how to fly. He's got right of abode in Australia so he has every right to a position in Australia.
He's never passed judgement on Aussies flying in the UK."
Well maybe he should have? Then he might not be looking 'down under' for turboprop time.
Because he has right of abode, does he have "every right" to take a position from an Australian citizen? I don't think he should have.
He was "in Australia teaching said pilots how to fly", so?
If he was here doing it for charity then I applaud him.
When we have a skilled pilot shortage in Australia, then let's give our good Scottish colleague all the help in the world to get a job here.
Rather than trying to get your M.P. to change the immigration laws, let your manager/recruitment guru/chief pilot know that a local pilot would be better for that metro job!
