Yes I understand the process and I won't be going through that long process. I don't have the time or the money. Yes I speak fluent German. So your telling me that Air Berlin won't train me to JAA Standards and convert my license for me, that's crazy of them. zondaracer are you a American? Yes I'm married to a German, but I don't want to wait for 2 years in Germany to get the passport to get a Job. I want to be able to pack my **** and get a job as soon as I get there. I guess that's probably not possible???? Yes I do have a ATP and Prior Airline experience on the jet. I don't have the time to wait 7 years for citizenship. Is there any faster way. What do you do for 6-12 months while you wait since you can't fly?
