This has nothing to do with unfair skies and all to do with "jobs for the boys".
Powerful US Pilot unions will use any means to take jobs from foreign Pilots and they have been clearly very successful; the bulk of European express freight is flown by Americans, there was an attempt made by UPS to takeover TNT which would have resulted in the termination of TNT Pilots and replacement with American Pilots in the heart of Europe. Atlas Air closed their London base forcing numerous European Pilots to be unfairly put on the street, the result of US union pressure. It is time that the rest of the world's pilots fought back against US union pilot greed.
