Some of the previous contributors and monkee seem to know each other. If they are set on a personal spat then I too would be happy if they had it elsewhere.
But don't lets throw red herrings. Yes many pilots from the UK -and the USA, Australia, Sweden, Sth Africa and lots of other countries are employed as expats. Sometimes this is because of a lack of resources for training local pilots. Sometimes -like in Singapore -it is because a well educated young Singaporean can have a far more promising career in business than he would in aviation. Either way, it is completely irrelevant to this argument.
