Come to AA and be based in Miami. Half the guys have foreign accents. And half the guys who don’t have foreign accents, well their wives/husbands or girlfriends/boyfriends have accents. At AA, I’ve flown with pilots from Greece, Germany, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Canada, Australia, UK, France, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba and more. I’ve met pilots here from many other countries. If you are cool, nobody will have a problem with your country of origin and most people will think it’s cool. If you’re a d-bag, then it won’t matter where you are from, people won’t like you.

I lived in Europe for a few years. I was completely shocked at how racist and xenophobic those people were. Just small little differences would cause whole groups to hate each other. And I went there thinking those people were very liberal. Well, they were to an extent (nobody liked to work and wanted support from government welfare programs) until it came to mixing with people of different races and beliefs. Going to blame a "recently sued news network" for that too? GTFO, stick to Reddit.

I’m from Europe, and saying that everybody out there are certain way is like saying the entire US is democrat or republican. There’s a bit of everything, maybe 50/50, right?
Well same thing in Europe. Population around 750 million at this point?.
Each state in the US almost feels like a different country……well guess what, in Europe you literally have 40+ countries, so very different realities.

Despite having an E-2 visa and legal work permit, I haven't been able to get accepted by major and legacy companies so far, except for regional ones. I don't need any sponsorship, but companies seem to be avoiding me for an unknown reason. I have over 4,000+ (b737+b777) flight hours and a Master's degree from California State University, but I still can't figure out why major and legacy companies are not responding. I suspect that human resources departments may not want to deviate from standard practices.

Operated from the majority of FR bases in Europe as a Line Trainer. Observed culture clashes between crewmembers. The EU, from my observations wasn’t really united… shame.

Whenever any brilliant mind decides to make a comment about your accent, you stop them right there and ask them how many languages they speak, that's it, done.
But if a crew member invites everyone out to the overnight except one...
or the FA offers one deadheading pilot a bottle of water but not the other...
or if the gate agent is friendly to some crew and rude to others in the same crew...
...these are things where nobody can ever prove intent. There are enough other reasons to reasonably explain any of the above behaviors, so any actual prejudice, intended or otherwise, is obfuscated.
All races and nationalities are capable of this, not just any one in particular.
