Surely a lack of suitably qualified pilots in Europe allows for Pilots from elsewhere to be 'imported' same as anywhere else in the world for jobs that can't be filled, look locally and then advertise internationally etc..
No argumentfrom me, except to say Groan,...you know for certain there is a shortage??

they are not looking in the US for the sake of it.. they are looking there because they cannot get European BAe146/AvroRJ pilots. Supply and demand, simple.
Not simple....demand artificially exceeding supply based on false economics
i.e. trying to attract EU candidates at a lower than EU market rate. Now they are looking offshore because THEY DONT WANT TOO PAY the market rates

Now that is simple
