Besides, who wants to live in Afghanistan or in the middle of an Ebola epidemic.

A pilot has to prove himself every single time he switches a job. Pilots think the magic CPL or ATPL exempts them from trust building with their employer and other employees.

Talented at flying, to dumb to take care of a customer.
Good Pilot but to stupid to clean an airplane.
Good Navigator but gets lots in the office.

IF jobs ever do go to foreign workers, it is only for one reason. Their attitude is right, they are willing to prove their worth.

Shall we point out the irony of all the mistakes in this part of your post?

Seems since AC hiring freeze, the whole country is ground to a halt. This only helps lower wages everywhere due to pilots who have to take anything.
The industry is trying to turn towards a lack of talent as people are distracted by financial problems and worry about their futures. This is wrong because there are extremely talented pilots (prob reading this) waiting for a chance. While even the military claims there is a pilot shortage and hires cheap foreign pilots instead. No other single job in the world has as many lives in their hands at any given moment. Maybe the public should know??

Is anyone truly hiring, or just advertising?
Is our future going to foreign workers who will work for minimum wages?
Should the public know?

I should add, I don't want this to turn into another hate forum. I only want to find real jobs that will improve everyones station in this employment situation we find ourselves in.
