If u are thinking flying for LH its sad bad forget it.LH has its own training academy in Bohn (actually its like an army camp) .To join the LH academy u must have a german high school diploma(abitur) and then to take the 3 year course in academy,Still u have no job insurance with LH.After graduating the academy LH puts u on a waiting list and depending on its needs, calls the appropriate number.Of course i have 2 mention that depending on your performance in the academy u have a seniority number after graduation is not a lottary!!!.I dont know if there is some kind of Bond and for how long after the graduation ( i guess that depends on the payment arragement ),in case someone finds a job apart from LH.(dont laugh cause are people who have benn on the SBY list for over 3-4 years and the first duties were on an ATR42 and the same time some other resigned after a year an found jobs as FOs within the european market).
