Cool

@ RobertK and others,
you know better than me where problem lies.
But no one is enough brave to write it ,even on anonymous forum like this.
maybe big brother watch it!
PROTECTION!
You also gave exact examples : USA,IRl,GER ,and I would add next CAN,FRA,AUS,UK,NOR,SWE and so on
They want to work everywhere, or take profit from everywhere but at the same time they protect their market,using next "techniques":
-Citizenship
-language
-Visa issue
-Union matters
- ATCA
List is endless,
And if you ask me what if ATC system falls in some of these countries I will answer to you that they deserve it!
just don't tell me that RDR ATCOs from Moscow area can't deal with traffic, but their chance to get job somewhere western than Donetsk is equal to zero!
I can and do influence in political system in my country.
but I can't change mind of Ministry of Transportation in any other country including open minded Scandinavian counties.
We are ATCOs and we could understand each other but this question do not belong to standard ATC issues.
Best regards,
SINGA
