Re: Jobs in other EU states for multi-lingual low hours pilots?

Theoretically, you are entitled to apply for a job in any EU state and should be given the same chance as any other candidate as long as you are fully qualified for the job - including being able to speak whatever languages are required. However, most organisation in most countries will tend to favour their own nationals, if only because they are likely to understand them better at interview (and I'm not just talking about speech - culture and body language are important too, and have regional and national variations just as much as speech does).

That said, nowhere in Europe is the aviation market as buoyant as it is in UK. Therefore, you are likely to be competing against more, and more desperate, people for each job available. Is that what you're after?
