Bavarian Boy may not have said things in a very well thought out way but I know what he means.However not a day goes by now that the subject of conversation on the flight deck is about the dozens if not hundreds of Australian, SA and New Zealand accents heard flying a/c for mainstram UK carriers. There is no level playing field as the average British pilot can not go "down-under" to work but any body with vague ancestoral rights can come here and steal a seat. It is almost immposible to work in France,Germany or Italy if you don't speak the local language AND hold a licence issued by that state. The airline I fly for has an Australian/Italian who until he arrived at our airline had never set foot in Britain- now he occupies a right seat that I believe he should not. End of story!
