Home Airport in Germany
Hey everyone!
This is my first post on the forum so please feel free to correct me in anything!
I eventually plan to become an airline pilot and was curious as to whether or not American pilots could be stationed in Germany? Or even if there was a way to fly for a European company? My wife is German and I have been looking into ways to mediate between being a pilot and allowing her to be close to home. In a year I'll be exiting the Army and have been looking into all options. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I'm sure I'll have more questions to come!

I actually looked into this. My wife loves Amsterdam and wants to move there.
From the research I did the Euro carriers like their own citizens and get them into programs when they are in their early 20s to train to become pilots. They send a lot to Arizona to be trained at schools they own or are heavily invested in there.
Working for a US carrier and living in Europe definitely will not happen until you have crazy seniority and can land a wide body international route to Germany. And you will probably still be based stateside so you will be commuting international, which is possible, but not easy.
But if you find a way to do it let me know
