plikee..I started the Thread and in retrospect the Thread Title was inaccurate.
I flew as a pax on Sunday with a well known UK Regional and the FO was non UK.
With all of the UK wannabees out there I just started wondering how "open" other EU airlines are given that LOT, Wideroe, SAS and Lufthansa all wanted applications in their native language when I applied to them.
A French FI that trained with me in Scotland was turned down by Air France because..and I quote..you should not have trained in the UK.
I wonder if the Aussies, Kiwis and Americans are as accommodating re foreign pilots.
The thread has been quite revealing in that I now realise what depth of change has occurred since my parents voted for a Common Market and not a Political Union. I accept that times have clearly changed. Separate issue.
If I learnt another language it would have to be Gaelic!!!
PS The Portugese had the first global empire. And the Spanish, French, Belgian and Dutch didnae do too bad either! Or the Vikings for that matter!
