Medwin..you're in Chicago right? Yes , there's no prob about color, qualifications and such..but difference is you have a green card..which makes you qualify for defo on cargo based in the usa..unfortunately I DON't. I could only do S/O based in HKG, no prob for me..since i want my family in one place.
A friend of mine also married to cx crew..he's Indian, when he was flying here, he sent cv's to cx every 3 months..for 3 whole years..no answer. He then got a 135 job on an H1visa there in the States, sent cx a new application, complete with a USA address and lo and behold..a call for an interview!
An Indonesian pilot i met..38 yrs old, 7,000 tt..737-300 captain.. actually collected 28 postcards from cx thanking him for his correspondence..How's that for persistence?
All this..while an Australian passenger of mine last week chatted with me in the cockpit...26 years old, 2000tt , Metro's and Twotters...just waiting for his class date as cx so.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ? yeah right!
