Aceing exams and employment ops
You're going to have to excuse me, speaking as a bit of a beginner.
Firstly, it's been discussed on these forums that employers are more concerned with whether you've got the type ratings and flying exams in the bag - not where you got them, or with whom.
But: would employers notice the standard of your pass? Or do you not get a 'grade' as such? If, for example, you passed your exams with, ahem...'flying' colours, would this place you in an advantageous position over someone else?
I'm just curious...am yet to take any exams.
Secondly, there are quite a few people on these forums from overseas (I'm guessing this is a UK dominated site, judging by the posts). As outrageous and far-fetched as this seems, what is the employment situation like in other parts of the world? Would it be desirable (it's possible) to switch nationalities by emigration, and apply for jobs with overseas carriers, most of whom have a policy of only employing their own nationals?
