Hi Guys
Since I don't see any Southwest Airlines pilots on the list I thought I add some.
I am Swedish and work for Southwest Airlines in USA and I know of at least 4 more Swedes and 2 Norweigians here. I would guess the only problem in working in US is to get a work permit (green card) and the easiest way is to get married here. I did most my flight training here in 88 and the plan was to go back to sweden and fly for SAS, I even did 1 interview with them and passed. Then I met my wife and she has no interest to move to Sweden, so I got stuck here. From my school here, a few eneded up staying here and some are flying in Sweden, most gave up flying as a proffession.
Good luck and don't give up on your dreams.
