foreign pilots at KLM
A reply to Field in Sight post.
A conservative estimate would put the number of foreign pilots at KLM around 10% (total pilot group +2500). Their date of hire range from 1987 to around 1995. A number of these pilots have seniority to be wide-body captains. The majority of these pilots speak dutch. Many live abroad, as far afield as western Canada, and South Africa, but everyone is based out of Schiphol.
