Americans flying for SAS or Swiss?
Hello all! Brand new here but have browsed from time to time.
After a recent holiday to Stockholm this past summer, myself and a friend would LOVE to pursue our flying careers over in Europe. We absolutely fell in love with Sweden (MY GOD your women are BEAUTIFUL), and figure why not TRY to pursue careers over in Europe.
A couple of questions for you all. We understand it is VERY VERY VERY difficult to convert our FAA ATPs over to the JAA equivelent. Is anyone aware of any waivers or sponsorship programs for ANY Nordic Carriers? What about SWISS? I know Swiss is not in the Nordic area but I have read if I am not mistaken that they have a program like that. Am I wrong?
A background of our experience. Both of us are 24. With 2400 and 1700 hours respectively, with FAA ATP certificates with BE-1900 type ratings. 700 and 100 hours of Turbine FAA Part 121 PIC. Over 1000 hours of crew time as well.
Thank you for your help!
