The Golden Rule - He who has the gold makes the rules!
Charming ... must remember that one if I have to fly a desk one day
Good point on international employment BIK, it's becoming more prevalent in many industries now not just Aviation - Travel, Hospitality, Tourism, Technology to name a few. Don't see it changing in the short to mid term.
It's an increasingly small world we live in now - better get used to it everyone. Best to hop up off one's own sorry ass and get a wriggle on if one wants to get somewhere in the world today. Nothing much gets handed out on a platter these days, least of all pilot jobs - right Reddo?
(and that's not implying you have a sorry ass ma'am! 
... that wouldn't happen to be a SH36 seat you've been sitting in
