There aren't many pilots in Europe that want work for Cityjet... so what other options does Cityjet have?
OMG I can't believe that you STILL don't get it.
There are only two issues here. One is reciprocity - which you steadfastly refuse to comment on - and the other is using the local pilots first. Those are the only two issues. Once the local pool is exhausted - whatever it's size - Cityjet can do what they want.
Those are the only two issues. They are exceedingly simple. Maybe you should add your two letters and use the name for yourself.
It may be but so far there are no bites from the Mesaba group coming over to Europe... Like I said pilots are not going to go from one low paying job to another one.
The three main agencies employing pilots for Cityjet all say differently. Give them a call.
maybe they will give you a call etc etc etc
Hard as it is to stoop to your level, I will say that I have several offers to return, and all from airlines far higher up the pecking order than Cityjet. I don't want to work for Cityjet. I never have, never will. I have a friends who does, though, and he is being disadvantaged by the IAA pandering to a local business.
But who would want to return to Europe from the relative comfort of the South Pacific? Nah, you can have the crappy weather and the crowds and the pollution all to yourself.
since according to you I'm not a gentleman I'll filled in the rest of the letters for your screen name.
Thank you for fulfilling my expectations and showing your true colours.

It was the bloody JAA protectionist racket that stoped me and plenty of my frineds from ireland to come home or to the uk and find a job.
Awwwww.... didn't work out quite according to plan, did it? Guess that is what happens when you decide to train overseas. Maybe you should have gone to one of the US schools that train to JAA standards... but maybe that wasn't such a bargain, huh?
And people say I have a chip on my shoulder... you have an entire timber yard.
Im sorry people cannot find a job with only 200hrs
Nobody is suggesting that they should. That isn't the issue.
but you dont hear me complaining about it
Really? You seem to have spent half a page complaining about it! Even if it was the issue - which it isn't.
It amazes me that people here expect guys who have had to slog it out to gain experiance should have to start from scratch again just to get a job back home.
Hmmm just like you do if you go from Europe to the US... maybe you should have trained to JAA standards if you wanted to return.
who do you think wrote the syllabus/rules and regs for the CAA/JAA? the schools write the rules to suit themselves to stop people from going abroad and the JAA endorses it cause of the money they make from exams.
There's that chip again... you really believe the schools write the regs? You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
how long do you think it would take a person to go to the states, get a pvt then IR then cpl then multi ir cpl, then cfi, cfii and an mei. then, build up 250 multi hrs and 1000 total, and then try and get a regional job?
So WHY did you go to the US to train? Because you thought that you would short-cut the system and get a cheap US licence, then come home to Ireland and get a job? But you didn't notice that they were going JAR and it wouldn't be quite so easy?
How totally naive.
