Kilo Bravo 1:
Before you start spreading your BS too thick: Any country (in this context the EU acts as 1 country) does protect their workforce. Since there are a lot of pilots (not only licensed, but also experienced) sitting around unemployed in the EU, it is difficult or impossible for a non-EU citizen to find a job, at the moment. Should the demand increase, so will the chances for non-EU citizens.

Do you really think that the US and Canada for example allow for foreigners to be employed these days?


capb1900:
Before you call others names, you might want to check the facts, a trait most welcome in flying environments which might land you a job one day:
There are quite a number of non RSA citizens flying for various South African companies, be it SAA, regional airlines or charter outfits. Those guys are from African countries like Zimbabwe, Uganda etc., from the US and Europe.
If you have tried and were unsuccessful, it might be due to job shortage (see above) or your abilities. The licence is just one part of the puzzle, your experience, abilities and attitude are important as well.
