You're being unfair to CHC with your 139 comment. Any Global 139 pilot who can (EASA license and right to work) be assigned to that contract, probably will be. You know fine well that Europeans only make up around 20% of the CHC Global workforce.
Any problems with qualified Global staff working in the UK in the past in situations like this has always arisen from union protectionism. That's not a comment on union policies, before any argument starts, it's just a fact.
