European Commission to rule the status of pilots?
If you think that some Airlines' practices in terms of employment and recruitment discriminate the pilot profession, feel free to tell the European Commissioner in charge, Vladimir Spidla and his team.

It takes about 2 weeks to receive an answer but they always come back to you. Having said that, a petition should have more influence.
Open Des, sorry to hear about your KLM's story. Unfortunately, you can face discrimination almost everywhere in Europe. Airlines probably try to protect their market but is it really fair?
By the way, I've never experienced any discrimination in the UK which is not my native country but did in other European countries. It could be my personal experience... or just a matter of language. Everybody speaks english and that makes UK more "approachable".
However I don't understand selection's criteria like "holding a National Diploma" or "Only for xxxxxx citizens!". or Companies who don't even take the time to translate their job's offer in English. Don't we deserve it?

Q1: As Iceland is NOT a member state of the EU, but AAI wholly owns the crewing agency Airborne Personnel HQd in Guernsey. Would this commission be interested in hearing from ex-AAI ex-pats recently shafted. Guernsey is also not a MEMBER, but has a 'special relationship'. WTF does THAT mean?
Q2: If you are contracted by a wholly owned subsidiary of an Icelandic Company, but your crew agency HQs are in the Channel Islands..... is your contract worth ANYTHING?
