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?
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... TRY UK.
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...
ZBMAN Tu es sur que tu veux travailler pour une compagnie ou la grande majorité des pilotes refuse de parler anglais a Roissy....;-) Bons vols a tous!
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. Ahhh...elitisme , quand tu nous tiens.

Well, there's easyJet!
As well as Cityjet !
the other french companies based in france are:
Britair (recruiting low hours F/Os on CRJs!) Regional Airlinair Air Turquoise (If you want to drink Champagne with your girlfriends) Twinjet Corsair Air Mediterranée Aigle Azur CCM Airlines (in Corse, But "officialy" it is part of France ) Star Airlines Europe Airpost Eagle Aviation Air Caraibes (French Carabean Islands) Air Austral (Réunion Island) Air Tahiti ( French Polynesia) Air Tahiti Nui Air Calin (New caledonia) Air Saint Pierre (Near Canada) Air Antilles Express
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.
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!!
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.
sound nice
