I hope no airline in the US is sponsoring any EU pilots here and that no immigration policies change to allow it. As long as the EU remains tightly closed to Americans of nearly all professions, they can keep their few tightly guarded jobs and we'll just keep our great job market available for the many young Americans who are hoping to find jobs as pilots. From seeing all the young future pilots coming through at our universities, there really are no shortages of American pilots here. The main reason for shortages here seem to be companies' unwillingness to increase pay. I fly with a lot of foreign F/O's and they are all nice. However, I believe in reciprocity. As long as Europeans fight to keep Americans out of their job markets, I will fight to keep them out of mine. Maybe soon Americans will be able to get great airline jobs with higher pay with minimal experience as they do in the EU.
