Levantes,
Actually, Sunwing had Cypriot pilots fly for us first, last winter, and were welcomed, as that's the way we are in Canada. The Sunwing pilots were not deployed to Crete, first season, until this past summer.
Also, if you're so against pilots operating on your behalf, why complain about too many hours and a heavy winter schedule?
That kind of bitching is counter productive, it makes it sound like you need people to help you out.
It is not the pilots that make these decisions to fly in each of our countries but we do understand it keeps us employed and each others companies operating.
Consider what it takes for a company to operate yearly, there are peaks and valleys, they have to deal with it, why don't you.
