I suggest that those not too pleased with foreigners taking italian jobs get the training required to be hired. Italy is a free country. Companies can hire who they want. Nothing is stopping you from working outside of Italy either. The only thing that is stopping you is your qualifications which is up to you to improve. There was a time when you could get a job with just a private pilot licence [AZ back in the '80's]. Those days are gone. Unfortunately this idea of buying a type rating was started years ago and now seems to be the standard. It has nothing to do with where you come from but rather what qualifications you have. I guess also being part of a big family like Europe has it's advantages and disadvantages.
