Gulfstream getting CoEx Routes?

[Lord Wakefield]

The "my flying" mindset came from the Europeans who do all sorts of things to prevent U.S. pilots from going there and doing "their flying."

We just turned it around on them out of the frustration of seeing these same Europeans coming here and still treating it as "their flying."

 

[Lord Wakefield]

Excellent!!!

When we run out of qualifiable Americans, then and only then can we recruit foreigners.

Importing foreign indentured servants (often subsidized by their own governments) to do jobs americans would do for a living wage SUCKS and is unpatriotic.

Lord Wakefield,
My thoughts exactly. Contact your congressman. I have done my part.

Flying

The point here had nothing to do with foreign flyers, it had to do with people who think that flying belongs to someone who is not the company or entity that contracts for it.

Re: at least a scab heals an open wound

I don't think this is gonna fly. 'Stream aircraft operating out of EWR that is. New Yorkers wouldn't like the idea of foreigners coming here for flight training on student/tourist visas and then flying commercial, albeit small, Beech Airliners into buildings.

You are quite right that Gulfstream will not be flying out of EWR. The Port Authority will not allow ANY new turbo prop service out of this airport. Only current turbo prop service is allowed under the "grandfather" clause.
Neither is flight training allowed on a tourist visa, has to be a student visa like a J1 or M1. These visa are arranged via a reciprocal arrangement with participating countries.
Under the JAR's it is actually easier to obtain a European ATP certificate than it was in the past you might want to check on this.
To work in a European country requires a work permit or resident status just like the United States requires. It is not easy to obtain a work permit or "green card" here. Students that fly here as instructors ect. are under the J1 program that allows foreign nationals to gain experiance in their specific field for up to 24 months. This not only includes flying but any professional career listed within the J1 program. Just some facts for you.

Hope you got your facts straight this time.

Like what exactly? Please specify what these Europeans are doing to prevent you from flying there.

Just got off the phone with a friend that works for Gulfstream, according to him they will make a big announcement soon (all I can say it that COEX and IAH is involved). Anyone know if Gulfstream is a public company, might be a good time to pick up a few stocks...

Yeah sure. Just sent them the money and you could wind up holding an empty bag just like those who signed up for the health care plan and the 401K.

Sure its called pay for investing. You buy their stock and in 6months you have the possibility of really owning the stock .

Mr. Nigel,
1)6 months just to get a JAR license
2)You have to be sponsered by an airline just to be able to enter a college.
3)Work permit which is impossible to get
4)etc. etc.

Contrast that to coming over here where GA is very active then everyone just stays here gets a green card and bang yes European pilots are taking U.S. jobs in a unfair world economy. When we work over there the EU's whine and cry about how we are stealing their work. Amazing how everything is honky dory when the EU's come over here and fly on American soil, while American guys are out of work. Tit for tat, maybe the JAR's should reconize a U.S. certificate for what it is. Seems like the high and mighty EU doesn't reconize that.

 

[Lord Wakefield]

It's called Fortress Europe. And instead of just sitting on the sidelines and ooh and ahh, it's time this country respond. At least let's cut the umbilical cord and see how long the Eurocrats can tred water.

1) No, If you have an ATP this can be converted in a few DAYS. check your research.
2)No, you can pay to train just like here. The Only airline sponsered college is BA at Prestwick in Scotland. If you want a college education in Europe you have to buy one, sound familar?
3)No again, you have to qualify just like you do here.

Please tell me how you just "get a green card" These are not handed out to all who ask for them, you must qualify for permanant resident status, it is not something that is just given away.
There are thousands of US citizens working in the UK alone in many professions amazing how that is "honky dory" for them, when there are many British citizens who are out of work, how do you think they feel?
The JAA does recognize the US ATP for what it is and you can convert as a lot of people have i.e pilots that fly for Cathy Pacific have both a FAA and a JAA certificate.
Before you spout on about europeans coming over here and stealing your jobs, do some research and find out how many US citizens are over there working and stealing jobs from them.
Ignorance is bliss.

Interesting quote "fortress europe" That was used during world war two, you know the one the US were two years late entering, after they were two years late entering the first war. And please save the "you would all be speaking german if it was'nt for us" garbage. The UK stood alone for those two years and repelled the german attempts to invade.
"Lets cut the umbilical cord" To what? The biggest foreign invester in the US is the UK. If they pulled their cash I wonder how long the US could last.
Time to respond to what? The euro is almost the same value as the dollar, seems they are doing ok over there.

History

. . . you know the one the US were two years late entering, after they were two years late entering the first war.

Did I miss out on something in my American history class?

Didn't President Roosevelt supply the UK with destroyers and other war materiel for two years prior to the United States' entry in the war that you reference? That was the Lend-Lease Act. Notable in that regard was the P-51 Mustang was first provided to England pursuant to a British purchasing requirement. I have to believe that all the materiel supplied during the two years in question helped the British hold off the Germans a little bit. Not to mention the American airmen who flew with the RAF.

Define "entering" the war. If I am not mistaken, wasn't it the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 that caused the U.S. to declare war on Japan and Germany?

I'd first review history before making the declarative statements you made above.
