I don't like offshoring, but in many cases it's difficult to argue with the economic logic.
It's not all about economics, unless you strike a balance you end up with some people getting much richer and the rest being left behind. Think of Mrs Thatcher's reforms which rightly cast aside old industry but neglected to do anything about the decimated communities left behind. They remain endemically damaged with young people with no experience of the job market whilst we import young enthusiastic foreigners and still pay for the original workforce to remain idle generation after generation. This is what IDS is struggling valiantly to fix.
In terms of aviation, Norwegian have set up a separate AOC for long haul, based it on paper in Ireland, crewed it with Thai and US nationals, lots of non EU flight deck and are looking to build a base out of
London (still in the EU, for now. My key point is that these super fares are coming at the expense of downward pressure on terms and conditions of staff currently working in the industry and a worrying loosening of regulatory oversight. Someone will do very well out of this of course, some people will get a cheap flight, at the price of someone else's worth in the job market. Globalisation needs
some balance and a degree of regulation
