Gentlemen I have had the privalidge of working and sinking the odd beer with NSF and I can assure you he is a man of good character and indeed often a voice of reason when everyone else is loosing their heads. I do not believe he would make any attempt to be racist or resentfull of others.
I have to agree with him regarding pilots of other nationalities flying for UK companies and hiring policies. It has long been a tradition for pilots from the USA comimg over to the UK and getting work when the US market is down but UK pilots never get the same in return, in fact, the same applies to pilots from Canada I believe although I stand corrected on that. As for pilots from eastern block countries they are welcome provided they meet the same standereds as UK licenced pilots. We are all grown up enopugh to know that in some less developed countries coruption is a problem and many things can be obtained for a price even a pilots licence!
I have no problem at all working with any nationalities indeed I am from a country outside the EU and have been working in the UK for the last 15 years,however I did complete my training in the UK and hold a CCA/JAR ATPL.
We have all heard the odd R-----r pilots with very poor command of english operating around so any of you R------r hard noses casn sling your hook. It is a well known fact that the famous Michael only cares about bums on seats regardless of ability! easy on the other hand does try to be a bit more choosie!!
And good on them for being so!
