My son spent lots of money obtaining a JAR license only to sit on the side line while Foreign canadian/american pilots work with validations?! Where is our protection here in europe
If you work in Europe, you'll have to convert to JAR.
And by the way, the only Spanish company with foreigners in the cockpit is Vueling. I believe that IB, JK, UX are all Spanish. Of 500 VY pilots maybe 150 are not Spanish. Would replacing them by Spanish pilots solve the problem of all the (3000?) unemployed Spanish guys? No!

WE ARE NOW ALL EUROPEAN UNION MEMBERS, WE USE THE SAME EURO CURRENCY, WE HAVE JAR EUROPEAN LICENCES AND IT IS FULL OF SPANISH PILOTS AND CABIN CREW AT RYANAIR, EASYJET, TOGETHER WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF OTHER FOREIGN COMPANIES BUT WE CAN STILL FIND SOME STUPID SPANISH ASSHOLES HERE THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER NOT TO HIRE ANY FOREIGN PILOTS IN THE SPANISH COMPANIES. THIS IS DEPRESSING TO SEE HOW POOR IS THEIR WAY OF THINKING.

UK licenses
Ryanair has a lot of foreign pilots with validations working on Brookfield contracts and not paying any tax in Spain.
In regards to Vueling dont know of any foreign pilots flying on validations from the US or Canada they have full UK licenses and UK/European citizenship. All the foreigners have European passports ( EU )
It is time for people to think more as Europeans.
Right time for all of us pilots to be united, we all want the same things.
There were many advantages for Spain joining the EU.
The old Vueling was proud of it's multicultural make up. One of the reasons foreign pilots were hired was to keep Sepla out and to keep the pilots divided. Vueling hired foreigners who had more experience, Airbus time and were working for less.
To fall in the trap of being divided between foreigners and Spaniards.
You will then be divided and conquered. No one will win.

THINK!
Read what I have said. I am not against foreign pilots working in EU airlines as long as they have JAR license!!!!
I think that foreign pilots working with NON JAR liceses on validations!! and the validations more than 2 or 3 years old!! I thought that a validation was issued to pilot to relive crew shortatge!!!! Not just keep them flying!!
Look at santa barbara airline. they operate 2 767 Jar registered and they have 1 x canadian and 2 american pilots on validation!!!! How many Icelandair pilots siting at home with JAR license with no work money.
How do they think? are they happy to see theses canadian and american laugh at them. this is so.
foreign pilots ok but with JAR license!!!!!
