I think we all should be greatfull we have a job at the moment, rather then which nationality has the right to the job.
Oh we should? And what about those of us who
don't have a job, and in the meantime are prevented from getting jobs in other EU countries, whilst seeing EU citizens working here, seeing 20 Canadians working for a charter airline at our old base airport, other hordes of Australians and New Zealanders working for British airlines?
I'm not saying there may well be extenuating circumstances, such as dual nationality, right of residency, rights by way of marriage, what-have-you.
But when the CAA is actually making it easier for airlines to employ non-EU nationals instead of currently unemployed Brit nationals, many of whom have excellent skills, records and experience, it comes a little hard to be told to be "greatfull" [sic].
