Discrimination???
Having been pilloried in the past by the self - righteous 'politically correct' brigade I feel my comments in the past are still relevant. I and all of my peers (I sincerely hope) have no animosity, dislike, racial hatred or any other prejudices/bigotry against anyone of a different ethnic background in our profession, but I do certainly feel a great deal of frustration when I can't get a job in my own country because a lot of the posts are occupied by pilots from overseas. I am sure that any form of protectionism could be misconstrued as discriminatory when you are on the outside but surely charity must begin at home. There is no excuse now or ever to judge on skin colour or ethnic background but we have to look after our own first, before consigning them to the dole in favour of a probable short term visitor.
