This makes very little sense as C4S is a marketing-spin project and has no AOC etc. All aircraft on CSA AOC are crewed by CSA mainline pilots as represented by Czech Airlines CZ ALPA.
There is small number of foreign pilots who joined during (overhated) expansion in 2005, all of them type rated. Pilot-wise, the company has been downsizing for the last 12 months, although we will see approx 10-15 newcomers total by the end of 2007 to cover retirements and resignations. I do not see many reasons to employ pilots not speaking Czech, mainly because holding pool has about a year worth of candidates and the selection process (namely psychological evaluation) is in Czech. Standing pilot requirement no longer justifies running a parallel one I think.
OTOH, as you do speak Czech you can apply and join just like any other pilot, but the recruitment website seems to be down for a while
