Never judge a persons nationality by their accent. The Downunders more than likely have the same colored passport as you.

Still Flappin':p

i have applied across europe. a few toughts

France : you need to speak french and they dont recognize JAR licenses
Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark..) you need to speak at least one scandinavian language
Germany : was not JAR until recently, you need to speak German

so there are two barriers : bureaucratic red tape and language
Note that you theoretically stand a chance before a court if you sue the French DGAC if they refuse to recognise your JAR license.

Language is a barrier anywhere if you don't speak the local lingo. Try getting a job in Britain or the U.S. without speaking english.

Native english speakers have an incredible advantage in aviation. You can hardly call it unfair if knowledge of the local language is required in many other countries.
