Sorry but the initial thought still stands.

Getting your tickets in the USA and then complaining about Expats in your homeland smacks of a double standard to me.

Clean up your own yard sort of thing.
When someone wears a pair of red glasses, he sees everything red. When he wears green glasses, everything would seem green. Even if someone else told him that the white wall ahead is white in colour, he would still say it is green!

There is no double standards here.

Yes, we did get our tickets in the USA, but we have paid good $$$ for it. The USA govt. has not done any generous charity and given free flight training.
We give you business and $$$, we get service in return. Lets keep it that way.

Expats are not doing voluntary charity here.
They are being paid to work here merely for convenience and because it makes more economic sense in hiring an expat and make him/her fly the airplanes RATHER than training a low time pilot and upgrade him ASAP.

Expats are NOT experts. Expats are just pilots with lots of hours.



A Man's home is his castle.

We paid for flight training, paid takes in $$$ in USA, Canada etc and were NOT allowed to even work part time.
We obey your country's laws and hence returned to our countries after we were done with our training.

Whether jimmygill or I, or any other Indian wants to launch a political campaign against expats (which by the way is YOUR interpretation), it is entirely OUR prerogative.

If you feel so strongly against it and hate foreigners coming to YOUR land, then please by all means join politics in YOUR whatever country and do what you can to take out foreigners.
Return to your country and to your 1$ burger flipping salary jobs, or other bush flying jobs.

Ask your governments to try and plug all the possible loop holes used by foreigners to gain permanent residency or citizenship unscrupulously.
