coopervane:
Just in case your navigation is slightly suspect have a look at Aircrew Notices: "Foreign Pilots, etc".
Pipestrelle started an interesting xenophobic thread complete with a poll which I don't think has quite worked out the way he thought it would.
Last time I looked, 64 had responded positively to the question "Should British companies be looking to employ more British piots".
However 39 said "No" and 55 said that "They didn't care". Faced with that sort of result you might be better off trying to push butter up a badger's a***hole with a red-hot needle!
Alternatively, you could apply for an overseas job - I have worked on most continents including the good-old USA.
