Lots of bollocks here.

The idea that some young guy who didn't go overseas has automatic ownership of jobs here - bollocks.

The idea that a returning Kiwi is less entitled to work here than someone who has never left these shores - bollocks.

The idea that those of us who went overseas didn't also do the hard yards in GA - bollocks.

You represent all that is worst about NZ aviation. Parochial, xenophobic, completely ignorant of aviation outside these shores. Head stuck firmly 30 years in the past (or up your arse, if you prefer).

Some of us were like you, until we went overseas and had our eyes opened for us. We discovered a world where pilots are employed on the basis of their skill and ability, not on where they have been flying recently. We discovered that getting a job was not about how many times you washed the planes for free or how often you stuck your tongue up the bosses butt. It was about your CV and how you perform in the sim. This known as a Level Playing Field - a rare thing in your world.

Thank God we didn't end up as ignorant and blinkered as you clearly are. As you say, it is good that we won't fly together, as I have little time for bigots.
