I am a british foreigner looking for a job in my british foreign country ...

I would like to say a few word about this interesting subject.
I am italian, I have studied in the UK, I have a Jaa frozen Atpl from the Uk CAA.
I have spent a couple of years between the States and the Uk to get this licence.
I wanted to work in the Uk since I think it's the most professional aviation enviroment in the world. So just after my MCC, together with my English classmate, we started to send out the application forms, the CV's and the cover letters to every single operator in the country, without any preference between jet, turboprop or pistons.
Well, after a few months, we are stil looking for a job, either italian or british...
When I came back to Italy to see if there was any chance back home, I realized that half of the pilots flying in private airlines, like Airone, Blue panorama, meridiana etc., are from other countries; we probably have the highest percentage of former Sabena pilots in our fleet!
My point is that, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter where you are from, it matters the experience that you have...
Airlines don't give a ##@ about your nationality, they just want people they are gonna spend the least amount of money on...
Every other consideration for them is negligible.

cia Rizla, come stai????

yes you are right, it is all about money.
Now they even charge you to fly. they do not care where you come from as long you have enough cash to pay these low cost airlines.

a company in milan(eurofly?) ask for 40000 euro for a type rating and 100h on the A320. then out, and they take someone else.

this job sounds like when you go in a 6 flags in the USA, you pay your ride, you have fun for 1 month, then bye bye...they let you on the tarmac with no money and if you want fly again, you have to pay again.

So now if you want the 500h on type, you have to go 5 times to 6 flags... so do they ask you what is you nationality? no, ...do they care if you have a family, ...no? do they ask if you can pay?.... YESSSSSS!!!!!...

Flaps to 60,

Having read through the thread, I fully sympathise with your position-and you have defended yourself graciously against the "Brigade".
I fear there all too many of you out there in a similar predicament.

However it would be naive of you to expect help from those who are part of the problem, and still others who seek to give you advice having themselves obtained employment in shall we say" less rigorous market conditions".

Good luck, I don't envy you.
