I've heard that argument propounded in support of radical Islam. You know the sort of drivel. Mohammed was born six hundred years after Jesus Christ so therefore Muslims have six hundred years of catching up to do. Surely an expatriate pilot is only one who usually works on contract for a country other than his own, often on rates more appropriate to his own country's pay scales than those applying in his host country. In a vague attempt attempt to return to the thread, one can hardly blame Ethiopians if they have a certain antipathy toward white pilots when you consider the death and destruction spread amongst them by Italian pilots at Adowa and later, with mustard gas, at Dolo in 1936. HIM Ras Tafari, who is much abused in Jamaica, put the points across rather well in his speech to the League of Nations. I suggest that perhaps the most important point for discussion when considering expatriate pilots should be the standards set for licence issue by their own civil aviation authorities and that topic does not fall within the boundaries of this thread?
