variations from country to country...200 hr wonder hired!?!
Hello, Maybe this will inspire some of you; or piss some of you off, not sure. My friend in Germany just got hired as an FO. He only has about 220 hours. He did however have to pay for the type rating. I am a US citizen in New York. My girlfriend lives in Belgium. I will soon have the FAA ATPL. I am planning on marrying her in a year or so and moving to Belgium; and converting my FAA ATPL TO JAA. My question is: how different are the job markets from country to country in Europe? I have no idea how my German friend got an FO job with the hours he has. I thought the days of 200hr FO's in Europe were temporarily on hold?
