French ATPL?

[Crave]

Hi.

I have some questions regarding licenses in France.

I am currently doing my JAA ATPL in Norway, and i have heard that i need a special french ATPL to fly for a french company. Is this correct? And what addidional education do i need?

Thanks

Unfortunately, to be French and to speak french... :uhoh:

[sam34]

Crave, why do you want working for a french company ??

Because the only french company is Air France, but she doesn't recruit at this moment...AF recruits only cadets or cadets pro, but not pro with CPL/IR...:ugh:
TRY UK.

Thanks for the replys guys:)

When it comes to speaking french, i have 2 years of french classes, from high school, so i hope i'm able to "re-learn" the language. However when it come's to being french, that's for sure gonna be a problem, since i am norwegian... But i thought the rules set by EEC/EU(free movement of labor etc) would make it possible for me to get a french license.

Why i want to work in France? Several reasons, girlfriend, friends, i enjoy the culture,... Dont get me wrong, i'd gladly for starters work anywhere in JAA, also outside JAA. But i'm nearly just trying to figure out my opptions.

I know that AirFrance is the only french company, however there should be several companys wich have a base in France? (if you know someone, please post a reply). And as far as it comes to AirFrance, in my mind, it is one of the flag-ships in European Aviation. I'd proudly work there.

Thanks again for the reply's, and keep them coming:)

You dont need a French licence to work in France even for Air France..a friend of mine have been hire with a CAA jar fcl and a handfull of Belgium work for AF with their Belgium licence! but you will need to be fluent in french as only few of us speak English properly :}
It would be much easier to change your girfriend...;)

Tu es sur que tu veux travailler pour une compagnie ou la grande majorité des pilotes refuse de parler anglais a Roissy....;-)

C'est peut etre mieux comme cela, ainsi ils ne s'humilient pas en demontrant leur incapacite a parler cette langue, et la securite aerienne ne s'en porte que mieux.:ok:
Ahhh...elitisme , quand tu nous tiens.

[luc]

oui, tu as raison, heureusement que nous n'avons pas de lignes internationales... Quel rapport avec l'élitisme?

And you forgot Axis Airways ;)

[hotelmodemetar]

Oh my god, you are right ! :O

[A320rider]

and don't forget Air Assedic!!!

very good reputation, and they hire many pilots at this time.

[sam34]

sauf hotelmeter, tu as oublié que les compagnies citées demandent du piston gros comme le bras. Sur ce coup AF est plus neutre...

[atr42500]

on sait que la france c est juste bon pour les vacances, la mer, la montagne, c est pour ca que les anglais viennent acheter ici, mais pour le travail passer votre chemin meme de nos jours ou les compagnies recrutent que se passe t il en france rien du tout a part brit air pour quelques recommandés en haut lieu.

le mieux pour vivre en france , city jet , easy jet , netjets, bref compagnies étrangeres.

on sait que la france c est juste bon pour les vacances, la mer, la montagneet le niveau d'imposition, la bouffe, la meteo, les prix a la consommation, le systeme de sante....

[atr42500]

merci manflex

niveau d imposition ca m interresse car j ai beaucoup entendu la dessus par des pilotes etrangers mais jamais experimenté :hmm: sound nice

[Manflex55]

Alors petite info: a salaire egal mes impots en France seraient 30% inferieurs a ceux que je paye a Londres. Et sachant que le cout de la vie ici est de 30 a 40% superieur a la France (essence, logement, bouffe et compagnie), tu vois l'arnaque!!

[PPRuNeUser0215]

Tout depend du statut familiale qui ne fait aucune difference (ou presque) en UK (n'oublions pas non plus la CSG et autres )
Plus d'impots directes en France mais plus d'impots indirectes en GB.

[hotelmodemetar]

et des salaires plus eleves en GB ! (peut etre aussi parce qu'il n'y a pas de caisse de retraite, mais vu la situation c'est plutot un BIEN !! les jeunes ne cotisent meme plus pour leur retraite mais pour la retraites des "anciens"...)

[Manflex55]

Tout depend du statut familial qui ne fait aucune difference (ou presque) en UKExact. Que tu aies 5 enfants ou aucun, tu payes les memes impots sur le revenu. Lamentable.
