No, I think if anyone should give it a rest, it should be captnjs. Unless, of course, he can argue the issues... no. Probably not.
It is your opinion that EU carriers should invest in training from the start, rather than hiring current and qualified airman to fill the seats of aircraft that are arriving on their property. If companies followed your tenet, then planes sit on the ground... thus earn no money... poor business practice.
Shareholders, and members of the Board of Directors would be up in arms when they review the reports as to why they are taking delivery of aircraft and there are not enough crews to fly the equipment. I don't know but what do you think??? can an airline make money with airplanes sitting on the ground? I know... it may be a tough one for you... but hey... give it a go.
Do you think in your right mind that the IAA or any aviation agency for that matter would allow so many expats to fill these seats if there was not a need to bolster the economy of the EU??? to keep up with the demand of passenger travel??? to keep up with international commerce??? I know... it’s another tough one for you but give a go.
Don't you think that once there are EU member pilots qualified to fill these seats that the expats' services will be terminated? I know for sure you will be thrilled when that day comes. But hey... then you can give up you exiled life in the South Pacific and come back to and fly in your home land.
Hey by the way... it's quite apparent, from your posts, as to why you may have received such treatment from citizens of the former colonies. Don't worry, you're not missed.
If I were not a gentleman I would say you should add ON to the end of your screen name.
