You don't want to hear Reddo's French. Actually, her English translation may just be worse!

Seriously, she's right. You want to work in Europe, you will have to be able to make yourself understood on the ground to all the various agencies that never get near a flight deck. To them, the language of aviation is the one they were born into. Only the pilots are required to know and use English, and then only in the air.

As for "I just think it is unfair that if europeans can get jobs over here, but were not allowed to work in the EU", I'm sorry, but that's bollocks! There are many, many British pilots working all over the world. There are fewer perhaps in Europe, but that's simply down to the language thing.

The answer's in your own hands...
