Alberto and I-Ford, thanks for answer!

Uuuh, I understand, it would be the same in my home country. They would rather see locals in the pilots seats than foreigners. But sometimes there is no other choice. Locals maybe do not have enough flight hours or the proper rating, giving them a type rating course would take a lot of time and costs a lot of money.

I don't know about the pilots' market in Italy. But most of the time taking any short term contract pilots is just for filling a gap quickly, this is easy. If there would be applications of equally qualified Italian pilots, then there shouldn't be any reason to refuse them. Sometimes these short term pilots are welcome just for the time until the company finished training their own pilots. And then they say good bye to us, we take our suitcases and got to another place.

So, no need to be jealous or intimidating.

Or is it different and more delicate with Eurofly??
