Yeah, I realize that the job situation in the US isn't that great either, at the moment! I'm just trying to weigh my options...
I flew for Swissair for almost 2 years, got laid off last fall, when SR was grounded, and have been seeking a job in Europe and the Middle East since. For the new Airline "Swiss", merger of what was left of SR with the regional carrier Crossair, the laid off SR F/Os had to undergo a very arbitrary selection process and a large amount wasn't accepted! The reason being apparently, that we were "emotionally too connected to SR"! Well, I wonder what's with the 850+ SR pilots flying for Swiss now?...
Anyway, so with no major perspective in Switzerland, a fairly small amount of jobs in Europe and the problem that Switzerland doesn't belong to the EU, which means you can't just go work anywhere in Europe, I am just starting to wonder, if in the long term I might have better perspectives in the US?
Cheers, ABD
