Stallfail, we have a crisis

But this may not be the forum to discuss it.
I don't argue with emerging markets and globalization and all that.
I only maintain that, like the new ppruner 250hours observed, the right seats of commercial aircraft should be reserved for locals, especially where untold numbers of suitable candidates are unemployed or underemployed, which, except the newspapers are wrong, is the case in this country.
That's what they do in India and China, who are BRICS nations. Why don't Chinese or Indian nationals remember globalization and integration where their (suitable) brethren wish to indulge a hard earned passion, or maybe earn a living? Because they are building their nations.
Whether you like it or not, to recruit expats to fly right seat 40 yrs after your nation established a world class flying school, is to fail woefully.
"The mass export of Chinese workers to man Chinese companies in Africa is not helping African countries" (Africans should do the work)
Speaker: A Chinese academic
Venue: Panel discussion at Davos 2013
Panelists: Global movers and shakers in the world of finance and investments. IOW, people who should know.

Err, should we discuss the Lebanese bucaneer, an Abacha crony, who, in a handful of years, imported 15,000 Lebanese to do jobs Nigerians should do (Sahara Reporters)?
Perhaps not. It's just that the stupefying number of construction contracts his family's companies enjoy are not suited to the Nigerian brand of management/engineering skills. What of their unbelievably daft billion dollar oil and gas concessions, hotels, real estate, import companies etc? Nada, Nigerians are not good enough either. You gotta remember globalization and integration....
