yes I agree PMS may a bit OTT but,
Let me ask everyone of you international controllers joining or have joined Airservices, if you were not here and back in your own countries and this was happening in your country, and there were your own experienced controllers attempting to be rehired by your own ANSP, and there were plenty of them to fill more than whatever void may be there, would you be happy with that state of affairs???
I bet you wouldn't, and even more so if it was one of you or even one of your kids wanting to break in to ATC but foreign nationals being hired instead, how would you feel??
Have a good hard think about it, and I bet I know what the answer will be.
Don't be too hard on pms as his point is very valid don't you think despite the way he made it.
