Speedjeans (interesting name; failed RAF selection perhaps?) grow up and shut up. As an EU citizen, you can work anywhere within the 15 (soon to be 25) nations of the EU - and they can live and work here. Foreign nationals with British parents (and sometimes grandparents) can have dual-nationality and can choose which of the two nations they live and work in - as could you if the situation were reversed. As a Brit, with a full JAA ATPL and some experience, you can work as an expat in any one of many countries, and many do.

These are facts - and long established ones. They are brought about by political agreements over many years - not the CAA or airlines - and will not cease just because you don't like it. If you feel that these arrangements are inequitable, and have evidence to back up your claims, take your case to your MP - or try and become an MP yourself (British National Party, perhaps?) and try and change things from the inside of politics. Posts like your last one will attract nothing but the contempt of those more positive, pro-active, and tolerant than you.
