Studebaker if what you say is true about "market protection" then why are around 40% of easyJet's workforce non UK?
In Europe I think the UK is the most open place to work. When Sabena existed try getting a job with them if you weren't Belgian? (we're not talking contracts). Try getting a job with Alitalia or Iberia if you aren't Italian or Spanish. Look at all the Dutch working for UK airlines.
No offence but we don't need your xenophobic posts.
Perhaps the real reason you didn't get through the door and into VS is becuase you weren't good enough.
