Post NON UK PASSPORT HOLDERS SHOULD GO!

I beleive that the UK Govt asked all Airlines for lists of non UK passport holders working as aircrew. As in the USA, should all of the above be given a 12 month period to leave their flying jobs in the Uk? If not non UK passport holders how about non EU passport holders. There seems an awful lot of "foreigners" in Uk jobs at a time when we have Uk pilots facing unemployment. Now, I don't believe this to be xenophobic just a natural step to protect the UK indusrty. After all, if this was in the Southern Hemisphere or USA all Europeans would be told to go! When times get better and a UK or Eu citizen cannot be found to fill a vacancy then we can consider looking outside the EU.

Retreating through long grass awaiting barage!
