No a lot of sympathy for KLM, the Dutch have certainly exported more than a few pilots to the UK, so maybe they need to make their T&cs more attractive (difficult with AF at the helm. ). The other issue I've heard with both KLM and LH is the " native" language speaking requirement..I'm not talking about having Aviation level whatever, I'm on about having the local language skills to handle e.g. ops and rostering. .....

I'm not saying they are wrong to demand a high level of language skills, but maybe that's a discussion point for the generally monolingual Brits...mind you, post Brexit, maybe that will not be an issue.
