Toptup, as an expat I totally agree with you! great post.
now if only we could go back to flying and doing the job we all enjoy (and of course bitch about....thats human nature) the world would be a great place!
PS as an after thought, its interesting out of all the pprune country/region forums this foreign pilot issue is only mentioned when it comes to India ... I wonder why ?? (no that wasnt a question , we all know why, and yes it does happen in other countries... take China and Vietnam as examples)
