Just note that dan.cat3c has not worked for KLM, and seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder with regards to Dutch people, taking any opportunity to talk **** about them. I'm sure he has had a bad experience. But so far, every time he has posted his experience, others have posted that their experience was nothing like that and more like the opposite. Maybe he should stick to commenting on Transavia threads.

It will likely still take a bit of an adjustment from both the Dutch crew and foreigners joining to all get along smoothly. Crews that have for a very long time rarely needed to speak anything but Dutch in the cockpit and on night stops will likely need to get used to speaking English every now and then. But I have no doubt it will work out from what I have experienced thus far in KLM.
