NO NEED for the SB airlines pilots have JAR licenses. as it is a leased aircraft. It is like a US Airline landing in Europe.
However, The Smartlynx pilots must be JAR to operate a JAR aircraft. And must have the right to work in the EU.The aircraft is registration in Latvia so is an EU JAA registed aircraft. They also don't have work permits and finally they are on validations that are more than 3 years. ALL THIS is wrong.
PG fleet chief is not wanted in this airline for many reason to ad to the about.
MPH if these guys came to your airline with no license or permit to reside also with wrong and attitude with also made up experience then you would not like.
