Aussie_pilot85,

Have you or anyone of your personal acquaintance experienced anything like that ?

Nothing humans do should be much of a surprise, I guess, but I'd expect such animosity to be rare...and can just be politely ignored. Don't get sucked into any open hostilities over it....ain't worth it.

People here are probably surprised the USA (of all places) had to turn to the expat market to fill airline seats. I have to admit to being one of them but any animosity should be directed at everyone EXCEPT the expats who're just doing what motivated, enterprising people do: take advantage of a decent opportunity, which they had no hand in creating, to advance their career.
