No...they aren't displacing anyone! Are there enough (to use one already very well covered example!) Emerati pilots to keep both airlines in the UAE properly staffed? Nope...or how about China? Nope...or Qatar? Nope...Saudis? Nope... India? Nope...shall I go on? All those countries utilise foreign pilots properly to staff their airlines. The USA (and the FAA) don't allow it, but for some reason Canada does. We are not talking even reciprocity here, that's never been the issue. The problem is allowing TFW pilots, via a crooked system and sleazy operators, there are TFW pilots working when QUALIFIED (yes I'm shouting...) pilots are collecting EI...Open your eyes...please...we are getting tired of repeating the obvious!
