FYI, many European carriers type their FO's in jets with as little as 300 hours. I'm sure you'll also be disgusted to know that they complete the majority of their training, all the way to frozen ATPL, at some of the academies here in the U.S. that y'all love to hate.

...been doing this for 20+ years I'm well aware of that.

But FYI.....Did you know if you go "over there" with the SAME requirements you will NOT qualify??? Yet many people come over here and are given a job on US soil, with US carriers while US citizens are turned away. What's wrong with this picture?

Actually I happen to be one of those evil foreigners who came over here to steal your job. FYI, I did indeed qualify for British Airway's program, but unfortunetly wasn't one of the lucky 5% that get through the entire selection process.

It's funny how people think that anyone can move here and easily move into any job they desire and steal benefits etc... from U.S. Citizen. You know whats even funnier? Is that people in England think like that too!

And here's a question for ya- my brother, who isn't a citizen, is currently serving the U.S. Armed Forces in Iraq. He's a student who's been denied shcolarships because he isn't a citizen, can't vote because he doesn't yet qualify for citizenship, yet is willing to put his life on the line for this country. Whats wrong with that picture?
