When will we invest in our own future!!
I think the point that fullflaps was trying to make is that British airlines should fill vacancies with British passport holders first and then people with right of abode such as EU nationals or those with ancestral rights.
If however this is not what he/she meant then it certainly is what I think!! We should do what every other nation seems to do better than us and that is employ British born, British passport holders first and then others if the standards cannot be reached. German, Dutch, French and Spanish airlines do this all the time why we don't do the same is a mystery.
Just before someone asks do I mean by that that we should take less qualified Brits instead of better qualified other nationality pilots with right of work/abode.... errmmmm yes why not British pilots are unlikely to get the experience they need and then leave British aviation when they have taken what they needed so why wouldn't you.
