As it should be. It's their party so THEY get to say who is invited. No reasonable person could hold any attitude of "entitlement" to a job in someone else's country...period...end of discussion.
For the entire 35 years I spent in domestic US airline flying, there was talk about the looming "pilot shortage" here; what a joke !!
I just think it's interesting to see how countries like China and India will handle what appears to be a legitimate need for more pilots than they have available to support their proposed operations. They may not be able to produce "experienced" pilots as fast as they need them not matter how many candidates they send to flight schools.
It'll be fun to watch.
