That's crazy! I live in Germany too and am half American/ half German though. I'm probably going to move back to the States after finishing school here without trying the Lufthansa opportunity. Of course it's a great company but I actually want to live in the USA rather than in Germany. Where do you live here? You will have to have a degree to be competitive in the States so you have to think about where to study as well! That's the thing I'm looking at more right now. Some of the guys here on these forums have given me some very good hints so I will probably be looking closer at attending a university with an aviation program. Try reading all you can. There is so much information out there. I'm learning tons here every day. Most people you meet researching are really nice so you will probably have fun reading here and talking to people. Pilot's are great people who help you out a lot. I can't wait to belong to that superb group of people (I hope I can be nice too then and help others out). I wish you the best of luck!
