People from America have a huge disadvantage each country wants you to speak their language. Meanwhile people from Europe no matter where they come from have to speak one language and cost of getting US licenses are cheaper.

SD,

This is NOT TRUE. Speaking the native language is not always a requirement.I'll admit it does help in daily life but it's not a requirement with ALL carriers. Trust me! I'm in a foreign company...CSA

I have met a number of expats flying for a number of European carriers including BA, Ryanair, Easyjet, Futura, Wizzair... just to name a few.

The hardest hurdle was not the interview process with these carriers, but obtaining the work permit which was successfully obtained with the help of a reputable immigration attorney and a couple of $$$$$$. I guess Olympic, that is the gold medal... the work permit that is.

The expats who I know flying with these carriers have never felt any friction in the cockpit with their colleagues.

With that being said, Olympic needs to get his facts straight before running a poor Olympic marathon on the keyboard .

To the lads a BA… good luck with your negotiations.

Hey captnj,
This is a forum, people will state their opinions, and from my experience from talking, going to school with a lot of English lads I wrote whatever I wrote. Please let's move on.
