Thanks for your comments metar. FWIW most Scottish based airlines seem to have foreign based piolt's at the pointy end including Spanish. Admittedly these guys will not be your 250hr guys. You got me kinda worried now as I would like to do my me/ir in Spain mostly due to flying conditions.
Do the recruiters actually comment on your the fact that you have Spanish ratings when you are at interview?
Cheers
Smith
