Well well well, obviously hit a raw nerve with some of you guys and gals.Glad to see so many responses though.
First of all, I am talking about the UK Govt possibly taking the same action as that of their US counterparts.
Secondly, I am not a wannabe or someone under threat of losing their job to a non EU passport holder, thankfully I am pretty safe in my company.
The point is that in the US they seem to be giving non US passport holders 12 months to either get citizenship or leave their flying jobs. The UK Govt may well do the same.
The fact is that I have heard this discussed in crewrooms up and down Europe, how there are significant numbers of nonEU pilots working in the UK and EU while there are suitably qualified EU pilots available.
My apologies if this offends you but the fact is that many other EU pilots think this is unfair. Why should it be allowed in the UK and Europe and not in the US?
It is just a topic for discussion and am glad to see all your responses.

Still in the long grass..... aghhhhh!!
