My son spent lots of money obtaining a JAR license only to sit on the side line while Foreign canadian/american pilots work with validations?! Where is our protection here in europe
I don't think that European companies have pilots working on a FAA license.
If you work in Europe, you'll have to convert to JAR.
And by the way, the only Spanish company with foreigners in the cockpit is Vueling. I believe that IB, JK, UX are all Spanish. Of 500 VY pilots maybe 150 are not Spanish. Would replacing them by Spanish pilots solve the problem of all the (3000?) unemployed Spanish guys? No!
