Any details? More hiring? Pulling current US SA pilots to move or will they be hiring people to go be based out of Europe?

Also saw in another article a Citation and a Learjet with SA livery. It looked photo shopped but are there any rumors about that?

(Surf Air Subscription Flights Europe Expansion)
As of now, no details (hiring, bases, etc) with regards to the EU ops have been released to the U.S. pilot group. It's assumed the aircraft will have EU registration which requires an EASA certificate and the pilot groups will be separate. The FAA to EASA conversion process isn't exactly an overnight process. Pretty much have to relearn a whole new set of regs, airspace, etc.... take a written and checkride. Also, the aircraft type has not been officially announced other than 2 pics of a CJ(4?) and Lear 75. Bombardier-Learjet had their Lear 75 demo aircraft at our Hawthorne hangar a few weeks back. The launch in Fall is aggressive and I hope it works out.

They have in the past. Be on your A-game with respect to IFR ops and regs. Current CFI would help. Crew experience, previous 135/121 and/or glass cockpit is a plus.
