Hey, I am brand new to PPrune and and was woundering if anyone can help. Currently I am a "glorious" regional pilot in the US on the ERJ145, FO, with about 3000 hrs and with the situation here, well let's just say I prefer going to Europe to fly. I am currently in the process of getting my JAA conversion, ATLP on a 145 type and studying German, as I really want to live and work in Germany with LH or any of their companies. I do plan on learning as much German as possible, even doing a crash corse in Germany for a month (vacation time leave, hopefully febuary).I am reading that I need to know German fluently, then I hear that it is not that important, as long as I know a conversational level, does anyone know what the reality is, I do plan on in time learning fluent German.
Also, anyone know the current pass rate for the DLR, I know it is difficultand I've read other posts of how it is, I am trying to already prepare for it. Also for cityline and the other LH companies, if I fail the DLR, can I try to apply to city-line.
I've always dreamed of LH, but thought I couldn't get a JAA until I looked a little more, so I am motivated to go and preparing as much as possible, but as someone from the US, I was hoping to get some prespective from you guys there as far as what else I need to prepare, it's a little harder to hear the rumers and news in the US about what's going on there
I really appriciate any help and thank you in advance.
