Check Six- Many thanks
Again, to emphasize I am very grateful to be able to hold a green card, I am just disappointed in a simplistic and draconian measure to reduce the security threat that is precluding some of the best flying jobs. Moreover, a measure that seems to make little sense.
Two examples:
Prior to his capture, with training, a shave and a shower (or ten) John Walker-Lynn would have been eligible to fly a US military aircraft, United 747-400 with 400 plus passengers on board not withstanding, all over the US. In fact, he may have been hired by United ahead of many others, because of his Islamic faith (Minority status)
If I were still in the RN I could fly US military personnel and supplies anywhere in the World. Indeed, I could even fly a fully armed US military combat jet on an exchange over US territories.
However, because I'm not a US passport holder I'm not allowed to fly as a panel jockey, on freighter that was built ten years before I was born, flying MREs from Hyung ya to Dung foo.
You seem as though you may have a better insight. I have tried E-mailing, but the administrator says that you are not accepting mail via the bulletin board. Do you have another address?
PS Regards being a requirement in Europe, I would rarely look to continental Europe for bureaucratic logic
